The shooting was reported at 4455 Nylund Road – located between Junet Road and Olson Road. A neighbor found the victim.
However two immediate neighbors were mentioned by police – obviously shocked and sad. We are withholding all names of the neighbors and apparent victim at this point.
Officials in Gogebic County have not released anything about the shooting.
This apparent suicide underlines the need for better mental health services in the U.P. as we are experiencing about one suicide – and many attempts – almost every day in the U.P. especially among youth including at NMU in Marquette.
Its a tragedy that Lansing cares nothing about as they have slashed and slashed U.P mental health budgets – and mix it with poverty, despair, and one-sided court/cops system and we get suicides.
Plus the youth perceive there is nothing for them with only – low pay paycheck to paycheck and day-to-day living left by the older generations a gift to millennials. We were hoping they forgive us.
Its has also left an older U.P. generation in despair and with little control of their once good iives – and add in the usual substance issues and its a major crisis that is U.P.-wide.
Like their secretive cop brothers in Ontonagon County and Luce County and more – just love duping the news media and keeping secrets
Its also brings up the coveted, secretive information that very rarely emerges from secret-secret Gogebic County- unless via a weak news release with omissions galore.
Police officials in Gogebic County and Ironwood DPS – have never been known for their candid response to the media – especially if they feel/perceive it embarrasses their controlled area of the U.P.
In fact, U.P. Breaking News has exposed several recent situations in Gogebic County that were false by omission. Keeping their secrets from you like the tragic fatal ice incident when a heavy machine broke thru ice and fell under a barge with a crane. Total cover-up .
It took them three weeks to admit there were two fires – an hour apart – in that triple fatal apartment fire in Ironwood. We reported both fires that tragic morning

Gogebic County officials investigating man found shot to death in his home
Sadly, its beginning to look like the almost daily Suicide Crisis in the U.P., takes another victim
By Greg Peterson U.P. Breaking News Owner, News Director 906-273-2433
(Ironwood, MI) – Investigators are on the scene of a fatal shooting in Gogebic County. A neighbor reported finding the victim with a gunshot wound to the head.
The shooting is in Ironwood, MI area – however we are withholding all roads connected to this tragic incident. U.P. Breaking News will not release locations until much later this evening. The shooting was reported about 12:40 p.m. Central Time.
So far, we have not heard any indication that foul play is suspected.
However, it maybe the latest in a series of shootings, hangings and overdoses that are happening almost daily this winter in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The mental health organizations have their own crisis – ridiculously low funding and no follow-up care for those with depression. NMU has suffered their own suicides in past month.
When will enough people die in the U.P. before Lansing gets a clue.
Out U.P. legislative delegation suffered their own suicide incident – and yet nothing is done. We stress this death remains under investigation – but have not heard MSP crime lab called
U.P. Breaking News Ongoing Suicide Advisory – another today – 3-28-18 4:50 p.m. ET –
Another Yooper takes his life with a rope – as U.P. suicide epidemic continues with a more than weekly rate – Doesn’t count attempted suicides
Plus Another NMU suicide?/Public schools sports team suicide pact in Marquette County? – And it tragically happened again today in the U.P.
By Greg Peterson U.P. Breaking News Owner, News Director 906-273-2433
U.P. lawmakers please help – as the U.P. averaging more than one suicide per week in recent months. Even now this moment, U.P. police are handing a hanging of a 33-year-old man. Purposely not saying location-please do not say it if you know.
Unless we have it on tape from cops, there is no way to confirm any suicides in U.P. as police are afraid to speak publicly about it and media does their obligatory and vague once a year story.
I believed for 40 years that media should not report suicides – but that tactic has not worked – it has failed miserably.
The thought was reporting suicides increases suicides – well without the reporting – the U.P. suicide rate has tripled or more.
The U.P. weekly suicide rate is fat, far beyond – way, way out of control!
Since we reported the recent hanging of a 21-year-old male student at NMU – we heard there was yet another suicide of female NMU student.
Plus have gotten unconfirmed reports that some male members of a school sports team in Marquette County – had a suicide pact but a mom found out and stopped it.
We are not (yet) saying team at this point – and if I call and ask school officials they run away like track stars. No one wants to deal with this.
Or is it better to ignore it, not try to fix underfunded and broken system, and pretend our crushing poverty rate and addictive drug crisis is not happening. Also -we need to stop stigmatizing depression. People who feel depressed should be loved and helped – not shunned and bad-mouthed by judgmental Yoopers.
One start would be to throw our past three governors in prison for not protecting our communities – dereliction of duty.
Restore funding at levels that assures follow-up care happens always and a lot.
The old U.P. treat me like a mushroom comfort because nothing ever happens in mushroom world.
URGENT URGENT U.P. Breaking News Bulletin and Headlines – 3-12-18 – 3:45 a.m. ET
Weekend U.P. Headlines – Boy drinks bleach, newborn possible meningitis, numerous drunk drivers busted with very high blood alcohol levels, Delta County man gets facial injuries when an aerosol can explodes in trash he is burning (then accuses female partner), federal suspect charged with wrestling with cops and sometimes if you lie – that’s exactly what cops charge you with (They’ve heard it all)
By Greg Peterson U.P. Breaking News Owner, News Director 906-273-2433
(Upper Peninsula of Michigan) – Police and fire officials across the U.P. Were kept busy this weekend including a suicidal teen who drank bleach, a man who was injured and then angry when a pressured can exploded while he was burning trash.
There were at least four snowmobile accidents with injuries on Saturday, March 10, 2018 including three in Chippewa County and one in Keweenaw County. The Keweenaw County accident on Brockway Mountain – and two of those in Chippewa County involved snowmobilers driving fast and crashing into trees in corners – and absolutely destroying their snowmobiles. In fact, its amazing someone survived the Brockway wreck – because the sled was smashed. No serious injuries but four sledders were hurt.
The other Chippewa County crash was a sledder crossing the ice on the St. Mary’s River in Detour Village off the coast from Spring Bay Road and S. River Street area. The man was traveling at a high rate of speed and flipped the snowmobile. He was “up and walking” shortly after the crash. U.P. Breaking News has now confirmed that there have been at least 9 snowmobile fatalities and three critical injuries in the past 11 weeks.
Yet the state refuses to put up big, big signs warning about curves and demanding the sledders slow down. (U.P. Trails are deadlier than the highways).
Speeding over 100 MPH on today’s snowmobiles is suicide – and there is no way to fix it without behavioral changes – so anyone who has a loved one on a snowmobile should give them hell about slowing down – big time hell.

In Delta County Sunday afternoon, March 11, 2018, paramedics and others were called to a report that a man was cut all over his face, bleeding and in pain.
It appears an aerosol type can was in trash that the victim was burning – and it “exploded all over his face.”
The man also was sick to his stomach and had shooting pains through his thighs.
The dispatcher then warned officers the man was mad at his female partner, accusing her of putting the can in the trash to be burned.
—
Meanwhile near tragedy in Marquette County on Saturday night, March 10, 2018 at the Teaching Family Homes facility for youth that have been horribly abused or severely neglected – and the major affects that causes on a young person. A 13-year-old boy “drank bleach” in a suicide attempt. He was on the edge of the property with two other youths. An ambulance and police were sent – and the boy apparently was not seriously injured after allegedly taking “a few gulps of bleach.” So Sad.
—
In Marquette County, a federal prisoner was taken into custody – and even charged with attempting to obstructing/resisting arrest with law enforcement officers. He is 28-year-old Walter Noe Aguilera-Aguilar (address unconfirmed). Aguilera-Aguilar is being held on a no bond federal detainer and has a $5,000 bond set for attempted resisting arrest/obstructing a police officer. Aguilera-Aguilar was booked into the Marquette County Jail at two minutes before midnight on Saturday, March 10, 2018. The details are not known.
—
Meanwhile – another man was busted Sunday afternoon for lying to the cops. 18-year-old Christopher Michael Hughes of Marquette, MI was booked into the Marquette County Jail at 1:49 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 11, 2018. Hughes remains jailed this morning (Monday) on a charge of “lying to a peace officer.” The details are not known.
—
At least five people were busted this weekend in Marquette County and another five in Delta County for drunken driving – one suspect in Marquette had a blood alcohol level of .076 and another was charged under the “no tolerance” law – plus one woman allegedly was driving drunk with a kid in the car. U.P. Breaking News generally only reports names on felony drunken driving – although it varies by case – including when suspects resist arrest.
Non-scientific estimate by UPBN based on pullovers by police – 25 percent of U.P. drivers are illegal.
It appears at least one in four (25 percent) of Yooper drivers are either suspended, no insurance, or drunk driving with multiple arrests. That’s scary.
Generally though, we have heard some U.P. police running tags of older vehicles – while still rolling – before an official stop because its the poorer drivers who are most likely to be rolling illegal for something.
—
And finally on Sunday, heard about a 13-day old baby rushed from Munising Memorial Hospital the U.P. Health System Marquette to be treated for possible meningitis. Again, how terrible and gut-wrenchingly sad. Hopefully the docs are the Marquette hospital will work their magic. Prayers.

Editors note: If you did not see it – check out our FB advisory from Sunday on the downstate woman wanted by USCG Sector Soo for taking photos of the Soo Locks from an apparently restricted area. No word on whether the coasties had a chance to have a conversation with the woman. Plus see our report on the truck through the ice on Little Bay de Noc on Sunday.
U.P. Breaking News Warns: Low staffing, rotting food issues and inmate abuse is so bad in U.P. Prisons that anything could happen – this is a warning cry
Humanity for all folks or call the undertaker
Unhealthy food and abuse are alleged – though never in the history of the U.P. has a prison inmate won a federal lawsuit Weird considering their have been thousands filed – and most never get lawyers
By Greg Peterson Upper Peninsula Breaking News News Director/Co-Owner 906-273-2433
(Upper Peninsula of Michigan Prisons) – Numerous ambulance calls this month at U.P. prisons including today are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to danger to the public and others involved in the U.P. broken U.P prison.
One problem is, the U.P. media is terrified of the prisons and do not investigate. We are raising the red warning flag to Michigan State Police detectives, paramedics and other officials – who know they have been lied to by prison officials.
U.P. Breaking News stresses, we have not been information any plot of plan – just people pleading with us to warn the public about what might happen – it did last year.
We have heard from numerous sources involved on both sides of the prison bars – and all are scared something is going to happen. Not something good.
About 2 a.m. today (Nov. 21, 2017, Kinross paramedics were called the Kinross Correctional Facility for a call of chest pains.
And on Monday (Nov. 20) they transported a prison from the Chippewa Regional Correctional Facility for an inmate who was having seizures in the medical clinic.
In fact, we believe there has been one maybe two recent ambulances calls at Marquette Branch Prison that are not being publicly broadcast which seems to be the case since coverup earlier this year of a suspicious death of a young prisoner at Marquette Branch. There have been recent calls to Baraga Max (few days ago) and to recently to the Marquette Branch Prison.
If you love and inmate or a CO (forget entrenched corrupt supervisors) – you had better demand that changes are made. If the inmates are not safe – then the COs lives are at risk. When will the union wake up. The union representing the COs needs to get some guts and quit blaming U.P. Breaking News. Be courageous or go home
U.P. Breaking news is hollering about this hoping to avoid more murders at U.P. prisons. And hopefully get the state to force the corrupt food service owners to be human.
Then there were the blatant coverup and (that fooled Sunday edition of the Mining Journal and other U.P. media) of last fall’s riot at Kinross.
CO and inmate related sources tell U.P. Breaking News that is become life or death in U.P. prisons for both COs and inmates.
Numerous sources continue to say low-staffing – and some burnout or a corrupt poor structure within the CO community.
U.P. Breaking News will be revealing some shocking lawsuits shortly in our ongoing investigation involving prisons in the Eastern U.P., Marquette, Munising, Baraga in Michigan and also a separate probe in the Augusta, GA areas. Lots of lives are at stake – including the public, the inmates and the COs. Naming Names.
Editor’s note: For those who participate in coverup – do not have the guts to come forward – or will criticize our warning. We pray to our Creator that we do not have to say ‘we told you so.’ Most of the union officers close ranks – and to not understand it is their safety at risk- brute force will not fix problem. Sources please keep calling.
Saturday night stabbing/cutting reported at Ramada Inn in Marquette, MI; U.P. suicides and suicide attempts continue this morning
Editor’s note to Marquette Police and Fire Department – U.P. Breaking news has always enjoyed a good relationship and cooperated with you folks, but still our email has not been added to your press releases. Please do so if you have the time – smile. (including anything about the Ramada Inn cuttings)
For decades this reporter and U.P. Breaking News did not believe in publicizing suicides. A total blackout. However, that old-fashioned approach by the media is not working – and actually helps hide the true depth of the problem.

(Marquette, MI) – Marquette police, firefighters and paramedics were called late Saturday night to a reported self-inflicted female stabbing victim and a second male victim with cuts at the Ramada Inn located at 412 W. Washington Street in Marquette, MI.
However, little is known officially about the incident. Meanwhile, for at least the second time in a few days – a hanging was reported early today to police in the U.P. and this one involving a Delta County boy.
“A 23-year-old female stabbed herself in the stomach,” a dispatcher told police and emergency personnel responding to the scene.
The victim allegedly stabbed herself “below the ribs on the right side,” the 911 dispatcher told emergency responders. “The female (victim) is disorderly in the (hotel) room … She doesn’t have the knife in her hands.”
Paramedics were told about a second victim : “There is a male with a laceration on his arm.” Police were on the scene for over an hour and a half – and then went to the U.P. Health System – Marquette hospital early today to continue their investigation. No word on the names or conditions of those involved. However, the injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
Firefighters and paramedics were briefly staged in the lobby while police secured the scene. Te dispatcher said 911 “were waiting word” from police on allowing emergency crews to enter the room to ensure “good status before you go in.” The room was quickly secured by police.
There is also no word on whether the case will end up with any criminal charges.
If the stabbing at the Ramada Inn was self-inflicted – it would become the second stabbing this winter to have associated mental health issues. A homeless man was arrested in Marquette in Nov. 2016 for a stabbing behind the Marquette warming center.
Marquette Police, Marquette firefighters and paramedics from U.P. Health System – Marquette were all called room 117 at the Ramada Inn just 11 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 28, 2017.
Meanwhile in Escanaba, MI early today, Sun., Jan. 29, 2017 word of a hanging involving a youth whose “mother cut him down” after discovering the young male in the basement. His age and condition is not known. The ictim was rushed to St. Francis Hospital.
U.P. Breaking News is withholding the address of this tragedy – as the family is suffering unimaginable pain – as we did two days ago in the Copper Country. This comes about 48 hours after a reported hanging of a adult man in a Houghton County Barn.
This week alone, there were numerous incidents or raging children – and of defiant school children – in Escanaba and across the U.P. Folks this is real stuff. It is happening. Hopefully one day the U.P. media will do more to expose these and other issues.
An ongoing one-year investigation by U.P. Breaking News investigation into the mental health crisis in the U.P. has turned up many alarming facts – in addition to the shocking rise in suicides and attempted suicides – and a meth and prescription drug epidemic.
For example, ironically some the addiction problem is caused by the ‘treat ’em and street ’em” state and federal pill policies. Numerous military veterans have told U.P. Breaking News that the V.A. Hospital in Iron Mountain hands out pills because its the cheapest way to treat and street vets.
Meanwhile even drugs prescribed to help treat U.P. drug abusers in their teens to their 60s have found there way back onto the street to be abused – like the Box Heads of thew U.P. – all addicted to Suboxone – originally designed to treat opiate abuse. The crisis is so bad even those in mental health can not agree on how to reign in the problems and start fixing the issues. Some are long-timers just hoping to get a retirement and pension.
Bloody Budget Cuts – The Budget Axing of Poor People With Real Needs
U.P. Breaking News has traced state budget cuts and mismanagement of the Snyder Administration to deaths and other issues stretching from the corrections and understaffed prisons, to mental health to an overload in the court system.There state budget cuts have left experts with few tools other than medication on both the local and federal levels.
The cuts have also led to an environmental crisis in the U.P. and downstate. One example – other than the Flint water crisis – is the destruction and decimation of the deer population. the graft involving the acid mines were so bad, one of the original companies fled town, hoping the feds were not watching.
Please MSP Troopers or any cops – I beg of you. If I am found dead on a beach – please don’t decide my life in four days.
In what might be the strangest and quickest death investigations every whipped out by Michigan State Police – the cops say they are sure it there was no foul play at Whitefish Point, Michigan.
In near record time, Michigan State Police say 42-year-old Allyson Motlinski-Jenkins of downstate Maybee, Michigan – definitely was not a victim of foul play in Chippewa County.
Her body was discovered just this past Saturday (10-22-16) on a cold, wind-whipped Lake Superior beach at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Whitefish Point, MI.
U.P. Breaking News has done many editorials and stories about the skyrocketing suicide problem in the U.P. – and if her death is the latest stat in the U.P. epidemic of taking one’s own life. So be it. But not everyone buys it. One thing MSP detectives know for sure in four days – no reason to suspect foul play.
The suicide crisis also underlines the ongoing issue of under-funded northern Michigan mental health system – thanks to crooks like Gov. Snyder. When is that guy finally going to prison?
In 40 years of covering street news, this reporter has never heard of a bungee cord suicide on a beach – not to say it can’t happen. Who knows – MSP seem so sure of themselves – sure to say it was not foul play – whatever they say killed her. You see they have not released much – but one local TV stations says there are no suspects at large.
Hmmm – we can wait to hear what the public thinks – is it just me? Is it bungy cord suicide on a beach a real thing?
Well, MSP weren’t the only ones trying to convince people it was not foul play – some were yelling that it was a suicide from the start. We will leave it at that.
It bears saying one more time – if you ever find my body and I have choked – in anyway connected – or remotely connected to – a bungy cord – please do not be so quick to rule it wasn’t foul play. Or any kind of suicide.
U.P. Breaking News Exclusive 8:40 a.m. Monday, October 24, 2016
Friends say ‘Ally’ had a hard life – but the epitome of a unique individualist who was used to being the tall girl that never fit in – yet turning adversity into love – not hate
There is no way the person they knew would kill herself, friends say
That’s how she was known to those who love her. Or “Ally Mo” when they greeted her.
And friends say say the “Aly” they know would not would commit suicide – especially in the fashion she was found.
As far as U.P. Breaking News knows Ally Mo was not shot or stabbed.
Several old friends of Ally do not believe she would kill herself – in the ultra bizarre way her body was found.
U.P. Breaking News is withholding details of how she died – out of fear it could hurt the investigation – because it may indicate the cause of death of 42-year-old Allyson Motlinski-Jenkins of downstate Maybee, Michigan.
If police call her death a suicide – U.P. Breaking News will consider releasing the shocking info – but not if it is an ongoing murder investigation (without police permission).
“The person I knew would not kill herself,” said a close friend and childhood sweetheart of the victim.
U.P. Breaking News has been told that close relatives of the victim are making calls claiming it was a suicide. Cut and dried.
But hold it a minute – a former Michigan resident who is now in Texas, says Ally would never kill herself – and while she endured a lot of suffering in her life she was resilient as the day is long.
Her body was discovered on a chilly, windy Lake Superior beach near the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum that is located at 18335 N. Whitefish Point Road. Ally was found just east of the popular “bird watching area.”
She was cold to the touch but no decomposition. In fact, there was talk of giving her CPR.
Shock waves from this incident have hit friends in Texas, Colorado and other states – news that some friends can not believe.
Ally“was misunderstood,” said former Dundee, MI resident Chris Weber of Alpine, Texas.
“Ally was one of the most beautiful people I have known in my life,” said Weber, who is an engineer with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT).
Weber said friends of Ally want Michigan State Police to know – the person they know would not commit suicide – especially with the way her body was found and possible cause of death
She learned at a young age – that the world and classmates can be cruel – but in high school her tall gangling body made her a very good high school volley ball player.
Ally Mo was one of those tall girls – suffered teasing about his big nose – and she was growing faster than her classmates at schools in Monroe County, Michigan.
Ally also allegedly endured a life of abuse from close family – to her first and only husband.
“She would never hurt anyone else,” but even might submit if being murdered by someone manipulating and berating her – because of the anguish deep in her heart. A heart that some tried to make as cold as Lake Superior – but she kept the kind warm fires burning within.
“The Ally I know – would not commit suicide” because she accepted what came her way,”he said.
Weber could hardly fight back tears when he recalled something small – yet a big and significant memory. One of those memories you can taste.
Ally loved Extra Winterfresh “long-lasting” mint gum. Chewers of this particular flavor of gum must have it – mint gum that comes in a distinguishable dark blue package.
The gum “reminds me of her and our first kiss,” he said, with a flavor memory.
Its not that Ally did not have her sad and moody times – as she internalized everything as not to lash out.
“We were set up on a blind date,” said Weber, who was shocked that his first love was dead. And in such a horrible fashion.
“I can still remember my first kiss with Ally – when I smell a pack of Extra gum in the dark blue pack,” Weber said.
Holding back tears of anguish – because he just found out about her death Sunday night.
“I love her still” and so do many others, Weber said.
Ally used to take refuge at the Weber’s home when they were teens.
“We did not try to ‘fix’ her, just accepted her,” said Weber, whose sister Cora Weber and Ally were roommates for six months back in the day.
Not really an ugly duckling, but rather a person who lived life by her own rules – never dressing or getting haircuts like everyone else. Ally was the epitome of an “unique individualist.”
With the toughest of exteriors and always mending a broken heart, Ally Mo danced through life to the beat of a different orchestra.
No kids, married once in her early 20s – that some allege was a violent – it was a short marriage.
Ally hung with those who understood she was a sensitive person – who was tough as a Texas bull yet forgiving and accepting.
“Ally had a hard as hell life,”he said. “
“I love her still,” Weber said – preparing to leave on a 400 mile ride to a TXDOT construction site.
A ride that will melt into dreams of the woman he loved, lost, wanted to help, and most importantly accepted for who she.”
**Editor’s note – Mr. Weber originally thought it was Audrey Hepburn’s role in “My Fair Lady” but then remembered it was another Audrey Hepburn film and role released about the same time. So we fixed it. Hey I have mixed up movies tons of times, and we kind of put him on the spot. Thank you to Wikipedia for their movie info.

Officials probe suspicious death of young woman whose body was discovered on Whitefish Point along Lake Superior shore near Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
Please see the editors note at the bottom of this story – and try your best not to overreact – we simply do not know if connected – but felt duty bound to report in the wake of no MSP public announcement about this death.
(Whitefish Point, Michigan) – Over 24 hours later, Michigan State Police cotninue investigating the suspicious death of a young woman whose body was found Saturday morning (Oct. 22, 2016) on a chilly Lake Superior beach near a famous northern Michigan museum dedicated to shipwrecks like the infamous sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald.
First responders rushed to the scene – and while there was talk about CPR her body was reported cold.
U.P. Breaking News is withholding information that could tend to suggest a cause of death – out of concern it have a negative effect on a murder investigation. The unusual possible manner of death can suggest a murder and less likely it can suggest a suicide – but it happens. Officials have not said whether it is murder or suicide, but extremely unlikely are chances she died of natural causes. The body was reported shortly after 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
U.P. Breaking News believes the MSP Crime Lab was called to the scene. Police collected the registrations of all the people whose vehicles were parked in the museum lot and at all nearby parking lots. Police checked on weather conditions at the time and Lake Superior currents.
U.P. Breaking News made numerous calls trying to get any kind of comment – because its not known if a vicious killer is at large – of if the poor young woman took her own like. Numerous area residents have contacted the U.P. Breaking News Facebook page asking for updates.
The body of the woman was reported on a Lake Superior beach at/or near the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum that is located at 18335 N. Whitefish Point Road. The woman’s body was found just east of the popular bird watching area.
The discovery has shocked this tiny group of close-nit residents who live in nearby Paradise, Michigan.
The museum is best known for its Edmund Fitzgerald displays, an ore carrier that went down off Whitefish Point in a gale-ravaged Nov. 10. 1975 storm four decades ago, taking the entire crew of 29 slamming into the bottom of Lake Superior and the “the tombs of its ice water mansion.”
Once, emergency officials declared woman was dead – Michigan State Police and the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department immediately ordered the beach closed to preserve the crime scene. A beach crime scene is one of the hardest – especially along Lake Superior in the late fall.
Michigan State Police on Saturday did not release any information to the media some 24-hours after the body was discovered.
U.P. Breaking News has left numerous messages for state police detectives at the Sault Ste. Maris Post. – through a phone system that doesn’t guarantee a message gets to police in a rapid way. U.P. Breaking News contacted the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department that refereed all questions to MSP.
**Very Important editors note – and please people – take it for what it is – we have zero information that it might be connected – and likely isn’t.
U.P. Breaking News was asked last week not to broadcast information about a suspect vehicle possibly involved in a Minnesota kidnapping and homicide – possibly hauling a woman’s dead body – because it would jeopardize the Minnesota case. Police were infatic we not release the info but feel safetey and duty bound to mention it now in part.
That broadcast was put out over U.P. police radios last week – and we called the officials in Minnesota who were investigating this case.
But out an abundance of caution – we advise you tell all the young women you know: U.P. females and hitchhikers should not get into strange motor homes until police make an announcement. In fact do not hitchhike at all (never a good idea) until police tell us something. The body of the victim in that homicide has not yet found. She is 48.
The Michigan State Police Sault Ste. Marie Post is in charge of the investigation. It appears the MSP Crime Lab has been called in.
The entire area has been cordoned off from the public to preserve possible evidence.
Police collected the registrations of all the people who were parking in the Museum lot. Police are also checking on weather conditions at the time – and maybe tide currents.
U.P. Breaking News contacted Chippewa County Undersheriff Mike Bitnar – who said all press inquiries must go to the Michigan State Police. U.P. Breaking News has called MSP Post in Negaunee – and left messages for the MSP Soo Post
Young Woman Found Dead Along Lake Superior at Famous Point on the Beach
(Paradise, MI) – The body of young woman was found this morning (Sat., Oct. 22,2016) on a famous Lake Superior beach in the eastern U.P.
This may be very serious – not sure – but the body of a young woman has been found near one of the U.P.’s most famous sites.
The body of young female was found on the Lake Superior beach just off Whitefish Point. We have some gruesome and strange details that we will withhold – in case it is a murder not suicide.
However – officials are treating the incident as a crime scene until they know otherwise.
It appears it is east of the bird watching area. The body of a dead young female was found on the beach – and numerous law enforcement and emergency crews are on the scene. One detail in particular could indicate murder or suicide. Of all places – its a crime/death scene now off the Whitefish Point Museum in Chippewa County.
The young woman was found on a Lake Superior beach – near The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum that is located at the Whitefish Point Light Station 11 miles north of Paradise in Chippewa County. Address is 18335 N. Whitefish Point Rd, Paradise, MI 49768.
Whitefish EMS were the first on the scene.
Numerous people are reported at the scene but are now being held back – and law enforcement are just beginning their investigation. U.P. Breaking News will pass along more information once it is needed.
friendly fyi to Federal Prosecutors: U.P. and statewide white collar crime including indifference to human life – linked to recent cop-shooting deaths – prison riot – and other alarming environment crimes unrelated to Flint
Open message to Michigan’s two top cops – U.S. Attorneys Barbara L. McQuade and Patrick A. Miles, Jr.
By Greg Peterson Owner, News Director U.P. Breaking News 906-273-2433
The public is going to lose faith in the federal prosecutors office if you do not bring serious charges against our Governor Rick Snyder – and for that matter all the state, federal and locals involved in allowing crimes to happen (often under pressure) or indifference.
While maybe it is needed due to serious crimes – buts it is easy to throw a low-income Native American in federal prison. It is not easy to go after white collar crime especially white white-collar crime.
This comes from a big fan of the federal prosecutors and all the hard work they do across the Upper Peninsula and the state. But Michigan’s budget cuts have gone beyond the bone – and now U.P. ground blood-stained with the innocent.
U.P. Michigan State Police and other law enforcement budget cuts has forced the cops to be psychiatrists – and the mental health system is collapsing – suicides grow – and now retired Yoopers are being shot and killed in their bedrooms by cops who are punished if they follow protocol. Modern police training dictates handling a suicidal person with the proper patience and care – not rushing into a man’s home. If I were the state troopers and the other cops I would be demanding to stop this before U.P. cops get killed. They normally have many other calls to go to and most of the time barging in doesn’t result in a death – its a budget issue red pen vs red blood.
You folks spend a lot of time throwing Native Americans in federal prison – most rightfully so – but when it comes to white collar corruption in the U.P. you are failing. Period. Your hard-working U.P. staff can barely handle the Native American related caseload – I know because I follow hundreds of cases.
Preferably it should be federal RICO charges against the Governor and his department heads and other minions – under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
In fact, as was done in the “ongoing crime spree” by the feds to the Illinois governor – you should act immediately to remove him from office – or take he and his top staff out of power.
In the Upper Peninsula cops this year have shot and killed two men in their own homes – during incredibly a “well-being check.” The Upper Peninsula prisons are so understaffed that another inmate riot like Kinross – is all but certain especially with under-staffing and angry inmates.
The U.P. state prison meals lines are a huge issue for under-staffing – dangerously riot prone – plus entrenched supervisors who just do not care about inmate rights (We are not sympathetic for those who commit violent crimes – but remember folks we are trying to run a society here).
We can prove – give you places to probe – that the state lied publicly about the U.P. prison riot before and after it happened – but all you have to do is read the Sunday U.P. Papers to get it. U.P. Breaking News was the lone wolf.
Plus a Kinross inmate just died after his medical needs were neglected – and we are about to report on another inmate who also just died – in the Jackson, MI area because of the lack of proper medical care.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, according to numerous sources.
This can not be allowed to happen in a civilized society – especially when faith in law enforcement is at stake. We need law enforcement. But white collar corruption especially when it leads to deaths – can not be tolerated..
These are not minor issues – even if we put aside the poisoning of a generation of low-income Flint children.
We have proof the state lied about environmental crimes in the U.P. including the destruction statewide of the deer herd – and the lie about the reason for the wolf hunt – that federal taxpayers paid a millions to reintroduce to have them killed for pennies a piece.
Plus if a grand jury probed the connection between the Marquette County Road Commission (notorious for pitiful record keeping) – and Kennecott and even the current mine owners over the superhighway that has replaced the once fabled two-rut/dirt Triple A Road for the Acid Mine – all those crimes from unrepentant local elected officials to state officials (we can prove it) – and both mine owners is rife with special treatment, sweetheart deals and luxury travel. Kennecott’s worldwide crime spree has been widely documented and they brought their dirty ways to the U.P. – then fled. No coincidence.
The problem is we can not trust the Michigan Attorney General’s Office to properly investigate its own boss. Remember it is called a conflict of interest.
So – white collar crime in Michigan should be just as important in the Upper Peninsula for the feds as throwing impoverished Native Americans in prison – which many deserve and we love the domestic violence and other initiatives.
U.P. Breaking News has clearly outline these crimes in our news stories and editorials. Now we officially put some of the responsibility on the federal doorstep if more people die or there is another riot. We have warned you – and everyone that U.P. lives are – indeed – at stake.
U.P. Breaking News is withholding details of how she died – out of fear it could hurt the investigation – because it may indicate the cause of death of 42-year-old 
Shock waves from this incident have hit friends in Texas, Colorado and other states – news that some friends can not believe.
U.P. Breaking News believes the MSP Crime Lab was called to the scene. Police collected the registrations of all the people whose vehicles were parked in the museum lot and at all nearby parking lots. Police checked on weather conditions at the time and Lake Superior currents.
The body of the woman was reported on a Lake Superior beach at/or near the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum that is located at 18335 N. Whitefish Point Road. The woman’s body was found just east of the popular bird watching area.
