发帖数: 4796 | 1 Wisconsin doctor and husband found dead by jogger were "targeted," police
say
University of Wisconsin-Madison police investigators were working Friday to
determine why a respected physician and her husband were targeted and killed
. The bodies of Dr. Beth Potter, 52 and her husband, Robin Carre, 57, were
found by a jogger Tuesday in the UW Arboretum, a research and popular
recreational area that includes more than 1,200 acres of forests and
prairies.
Potter and Carre died from "homicidal related trauma," according to the Dane
County Medical Examiner's Office. Authorities have not disclosed the manner
of their deaths, but UW police said the slayings were not by chance.
"Through our police investigation, we reached a point where we were
confident in that this was not random and this couple was targeted," said
police department spokesman Marc Lovicott in an email Thursday. "Beyond that
, I can't provide any further details as this is a very active police
investigation."
Potter worked at the Wingra Family Medical Center, run by the UW-Madison
Department of Family Medicine and Community Health and Access Community
Health Centers.
She was medical director of UW Health's Employee Health Services and spoke
French and Spanish, which "brought clarity and comfort to the diverse
patient population she served," according to a tribute on the medical school
's website.
Carre was an independent educational consultant, according to his website,
and offered consulting services to students and their families for the
college search and application process. He was also a former coaching
director at Regent Soccer Club, a youth soccer organization in Madison.
Jennifer and Jonathan Nolan, the owners of a fitness center in Middleton,
told CBS affiliate WISC-TV that Carre was almost always around.
"There's definitely a culture of family here," Jennifer Nolan said. "He was
definitely missed when he wasn't here."
The Nolans said Carre would bring his wife to events like Halloween parties
at the fitness center, remembering one year when Potter dressed as Harry
Potter.
"(They were) very complimentary to each other," Jonathan Nolan said. "I know
she was a kind and caring woman."
This is UWPD's first homicide investigation since 1982 according to Marc
Lovicott, UWPD communications director. Senior staff members believe it's
the department's only double homicide investigation in modern history, he
added.
"This is unprecedented for folks currently at the department, but this is
the stuff we train for," he said.
