Overview
- Search warrant executed at Benjamin C. Larson’s home on Aug. 14 revealed multiple skulls, a skeleton in a glass coffin and a large collection of serial‑killer memorabilia.
- Larson was charged with one count of felony stalking on Aug. 18 over an alleged 13‑year campaign of harassment; he posted $15,000 cash bail and is due for arraignment on Sept. 11.
- Investigators recovered a padlocked basement bedroom containing a lifelike silicone doll, paintings and letters tied to the alleged victim, and journals describing stalking behavior.
- A forensic anthropologist’s initial physical exam said many remains are likely ancient Native American, but several items require specialized laboratory testing and tribal review.
- The probe involves the Wisconsin Crime Lab, the Wisconsin Historical Society and the state’s Inter‑Tribal Repatriation Committee, and could lead to repatriation or further criminal inquiries depending on test results.
