July 2, 1982 – Madison, WI – Unsolved
Donna Mraz was stabbed repeatedly behind Camp Randall Stadium. She was on her way home from the State Street
restaurant, the bitterSweet, where she worked as a waitress. The killer left behind her money,
paycheck, and keys, and there was no indication of sexual assault. Lt. Gary Moore of UW Police said "She never
regained consciousness. For all intents and purposes, the young lady was dead when she hit the ground."
Another student heard screams looked out a window. He saw Mraz running and then fall to the ground, he never saw
the killer.
Two years afterward, Donna's body was exhumed to compare her teeth with bite marks of a possible suspect in prison.
No arrest was made and the suspect later died.
Donna Mraz (23) 1717 Van Hise Ave.

The
Department of Justice distributed playing cards in 2011 to inmates in to state prisons and
county jails in the hope that an inmate with knowledge of a case would come forward.
Each card featured a photo of a missing person or homicide victim and information about their case.
Two versions of the cards: one of Milwaukee cases and one with cases from other parts of the state.
