Bonnie Marie Repinski nee Newby -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below is a chronological list of background and events leading up to the disappearance of Bonnie Marie Repinski nee Newby in Aug 1975. Most were gleaned off of online public records and newspaper archives with the most recent event dating back to 38 years ago. This is a strange case in that theres no publicly-available police report, no online missing persons websites, no newspaper stories about the disappearance, no public voice of concern from friends, relatives or family members. The whole case is shrouded in secrecy with absolutely no published circumstances surrounding her disappearance or death. Shes one of five people (with a common denominator) missing or dead (including Togstad & Mumbrue) in Central Wisconsin. Bottom line? No one gives a shoofly. No ones talking. If your wife disappeared, would you just get a divorce from her 8 months later and move on with your life like nothing ever happened? 03 May 1957 Bonnie Marie Newby, daughter of Mrs. John Stranan, Kimberly, WI, & David R.

Either the accidents suspiciously end at that point in time or the newspaper archives end there. Its open to speculation whether those accidents were part of an ungoing criminal enterprise or just sheer bad luck for this family. The Repinski family did own an auto repair shop out in Stockton but I have no way of determining whether the autos from these accidents went there to be repaired. Those accidents are listed below (these accidents were taken off a list of events I compiled regarding the Repinski family back to their birth dates starting in 1935)... 20 Feb 1955 Delroy Repinski,. 134 Warner St., reported his vehicle skidded off CT TT into a boulder and overturned. 22 Aug 1956 David R.

(Attempted murder, in my book, whoever did it) Interesting note, these same two families had family members filing for divorce on same day. Lloyd Repinski also worked for the railroad at the time. (04 Feb 1958 a non-jury trial is to be scheduled for a divorce of Mrs. Mildred Repinski, maiden name: Szewczuk, 134 Warner St., Stevens Point, WI from Lloyd L. (R.?) Repinski.
