SCHAFFER BACK IN COURT
Thursday, June 23rd, 2005 -- 8:08 AM
The Neillsville man tied to a Sparta double-homicide investigation was back in court yesterday. 37-year-old Larry Schaffer had not guilty pleas entered on his behalf to charges of third-degree sexual assault for the 2001 rape of a woman in Monroe County. Schaffer, who lived in a Hewett Street apartment, was arrested on May 29. The Monroe County District Attorney said Schaffer might be connected to a 2002 double homicide, but hasn?t offered more details. Another man named in the 3-year-old killings was found dead in a Sparta Creek over the weekend. Authorities are waiting for autopsy results before announcing how 37-year-old Troy Hogan died. Schaffer remains in Monroe County Jail on a $10,000 cash bond.Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
