A judge is setting a $1 million bond for the suspect in the cold case murders of a Green Bay couple.
Eighty-two-year-old Raymand Vannieuwenhoven made his first court appearance in Marinette County this afternoon. He’s charged with killing 25-year-old David Schuldes and 24-year-old Ellen Matheys, at McClintock Park, in 1976.
Prosecutors say investigators tied him to the crime through DNA. They say investigators hired the Paragon company to analyze DNA evidence. They say a genealogist narrowed the suspects to four sons and four grandsons in the Vannieuwenhoven family.
When samples from two of the sons didn’t match, a deputy reportedly got a sample from Raymand, by asking him to take a survey and seal the envelope. Prosecutors say his DNA matched the suspect.
He’s charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of sexual assault.
