September 16th, 2009
For a brief overview of the basic facts surrounding this
case, please see the post from Sept. 9, 2009.
AND SO HE RUNS
On early Wednesday morning, Sept. 23, 1992, Rick
Kuchta of Yankton was searching for golf balls in the
ravine across from the Lakeview Community Golf
Course on Nebraska County 121 when he stumbled
upon Tammy’s body. Law enforcement soon arrived and
so began a homicide investigation. *
When Eric Stukel learned that day at school that
Tammy’s body had been discovered, he ran from the
building never to return. **
That night, instead of offering condolences to Tammy’s
family or being with his own family, Eric Stukel and
friends Jason Adamson and Dusty List traveled nearly
halfway across the state to stay at a family cabin near
Gregory, South Dakota.
The reason they spent the night there was, according to
List, to “eat a good steak and drink a few cold beers”
and not to visit with a family lawyer about the current
situation. ***
OH, TO BE A FLY ON THE WALL THAT NIGHT!
At this point, nobody knew a homicide had taken
place…other than the people who were involved in that
homicide.
For all Stukel should have known, Tammy just left his
house (after her time of death) and vanished.
The news should have come as a total shock to him that
Tammy was dead...so his instinct was to leave town
with his friends?
Shocked by the news of Tammy’s death, I hopped on a
flight and returned to Yankton from Boot Camp.
The rest of Tammy’s friends did the same from their
respective colleges.
Our instincts were to come running home.
Interestingly, Stukel and his party pals’ instincts were
to run the other direction.
m.c. merrill
TOMORROW: Stukel and his psychic abilities.
