A hunting murder cold case from 2001 warms

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that a cold case involving a hunting murder from 2001 in Clark County, Wisconsin, has heated up a little.

According to the Journal Sentinel's report, Jim Southworth was shot in the back twice during the 2001 hunting season, and his rifle was missing. Witnesses reported seeing a silver late model truck leaving the woods that day, with three Asian men inside. Those three men have never been identified or questioned.

The Journal Sentinel reports that Vang has owned a silver 1987 Nissan truck in the past. Early reports of the Sawyer County murders also reported that he had been seen hunting with two others earlier in the day.

The Clark County murder is apparently lacking in physical evidence. If there is a connection, police may have difficulty proving it.
