Pepin

I just recently stayed in a treehouse.

Never thought I would be able to do that, but there's one in Pepin.

Checked the, checked the west side of Wisconsin off my bucket list, guys.

Love that.

I finally made it.

[laughs]

But Pepin was amazing, and I just have to first start out with the drive there.

Mm-hmm.

The key leads police officers to the Greyhound Bus Depot in downtown St. Paul.

Locker number 750 holds two bags bearing the name Kimberly Compton, an 18-year-old high school graduate from Pepin, Wisconsin.

Sherry Swenson is Kim's aunt.

She's like my sister.

And we went back to Stephani's arrest record the night that he was booked, and it was the same telephone number that he had given the officers when he was arrested.

On December 19th, 1997, detectives hold a news conference, announcing the confessions to three unsolved cases.

Word travels quickly to Pepin, Wisconsin, Kimberly Compton's hometown.

I called everybody and said he has finally confessed to murdering Kim.

We know that Frank Lloyd Wright had a strong connection with Japan and he built the Imperial Palace.

It also takes you up to Pepin.

where Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum is.

And the Japanese have a connection with her.

Through there, they found some of her identification and were able to figure out it was Kimberly Compton.

Working backwards, the police then found out she had just arrived that day from Pepin, Wisconsin.

Police had to tell her family that she was brutally assaulted and murdered.

So at this point, we didn't have any idea of who or why or
