Missing Waukesha County teen found unharmed p. The break in the case came when an acquaintance of Roalson's told authorities that Roalson had talked about participating in the murder, Zeigle said.

The two knives used in the homicide have been recovered, he said. Roalson and the year-old are being held on charges of first-degree intentional homicide. After his arrest, Roalson initially indicated that he was involved, Zeigle said. He then requested a lawyer and the interview was terminated. The suspects apparently met for the first time only the night before the killing, Zeigle said. They had initially targeted a Radisson couple, he said, but upon arriving at the couple's residence were scared off by a motion light.

Then they went to the Roszak residence and forced entry. Roszak's home was chosen because Roalson knew the victim's grandson and was familiar with it, Zeigle said. When he was living down here, he would sit and read the Bible. Stiles, who said she last talked to Roalson about a month ago, said he'd never before had a problem with violence.

Wisconsin Circuit Court records detail numerous charges against Roalson in Sawyer, Dunn and Washburn counties dating from to , but none for violent crimes. The records show two counts of theft, three counts of jumping bail, two counts of possession of THC, two counts of resisting an officer, two counts of disorderly conduct and several traffic matters. In , he was charged in Sawyer County four times -- five counts total -- with issuing worthless checks.
