I don't know. While I undeniably live in one of the smallest (and oldest) houses in the neighborhood, a surprising number of the houses on this block are occupied by university professors, some from my own classes. I actually live kitty-corner to my advisor.

Really? I suppose that English is your second language.. It's just that kitty-corner has been apart of my vocabulary for such a long time now I don't really think about someone not knowing/understanding it. lol

A lot of Americans say "catty korner," which drives me nuts, even though "catty corner" is probably older and more etymologically correct. lol

Quatre-corner  --> Cater-corner --> Catty-corner --> Kitty-corner.

Interesting stuff right there.

Funny, now that I think of it, only "old people" say catty-corner. Young people say kitty-corner.

And Formo, I lived in the dorms for one semester. Hated them. Two of my buddies lived in the dorm room next to the bathrooms. Not once, but twice, a drunk guy walked into their dorm room and peed on the walls then walked out.

This same story, a serial killer, pops up from time to time.

I have to say, there seems to be a high number of "drunk" people that get lost to the river..

Here is some on the back story of this.. but if you only find one set of prints going out to the river, seem strange that it would be anything but a misguide partier.. unless the serial carried him out there.



http://www.weau.com/home/headlines/18353369.html 

Two retired detectives say a serial killer is at work in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The detectives say they have proof local river drownings are tied to 40 other murders across the country.

Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte say 19 men were killed in Wisconsin and Minnesota alone. Family members say they're thankful to finally be getting answers, but, they want the killers caught.

Two retired New York detectives say this is the mark of a gang of killers.

"It's not just a smiley face. Hes evil, happy and he drew horns which are synonymous with the devil. Hes telling you he knows murder is evil," Gannon says.

Gannon and Duarte have been investigating river drownings for more than a decade. They say while not every scene had the evil smiley face, all the deaths are the work of serial killers. That includes seven deaths in La Crosse and three in Eau Claire.

Its an "organized killer which hunts his victims and takes real pride in what he does," Gannon says.

The detectives say the men are all young, athletic and smart.

Lucas Homan was 21-years old when he died after drowning in the Mississippi River in La Crosse.

22-year-old Josh Snell from Hastings, Minnesota, disappeared in Eau Claire in June of 2005. His brother says he was in town for a wedding and later went to the bars. Snell was found four days later, pulled from the Chippewa River. Jon Snell says he doesn't believe his brother wandered into the water.

In a phone call with a friend "he said he was scared, that he was hiding in a brushy area, that he was running from someone, that he didnt know who it was or how he was going to get away. (He said) he didnt do anything, but he was terrified and he was scared for his life, Jon Snell says.

He says he's glad someone else looked into his brother's death.

I can't thank Kevin and Tony enough, Jon Snell says. Theyve been amazing."

But, he says he knows his search for answers isn't over. He wants an outcome.

And thats exactly what Gannon and Duarte hope to give Snell and dozens of other devastated families.

"Arrests would be ideal conclusion to this investigation, yes, Duarte says.

La Crosse Police Chief Ed Kondracki issued a statement Monday saying in part:

"I would like to take this opportunity to once again remind and assure our community that the eight river drownings which occurred between 1997 and 2006 have been thoroughly investigated... The La Crosse area river drownings are tragic and unfortunate accidents."

In the statement, Chief Kondracki also says there is no evidence at this time to connect La Crosse area drownings with any other deaths around the country.

We could not reach the Eau Claire Police Department for comment Monday evening.
