Vang no longer a suspect in 2001 Wisconsin slaying

A Minnesota truck driver serving life in prison for murdering six northern Wisconsin deer hunters last fall is no longer a suspect in the unsolved slaying of a deer hunter in Clark County four years ago, an investigator said Tuesday.

Chai Soua Vang was working as a truck driver in the Twin Cities on the day James Southworth was shot, said Kerry Kirn, a detective with the Clark County Sheriff's Department.

Southworth, 37, of Medford, was shot twice in the back near his tree stand on family land near Neillsville on Nov. 23, 2001, during the nine-day deer hunting season. People reportedly saw three Asian men and a white pickup truck in the area where Southworth was hunting.

Vang was considered a "person of interest'' in Southworth's slaying based on some similarities to the Sawyer County murders that a jury convicted him of committing.

Well, maybe he didn't do that one. If they have proof of his deliveries in MN and not WI in that particular case, years ago. I'm just glad he's beyond ever getting released at this point. Thanks for pings! ButThreeLeftsDo, looks like Ladysmith pinged per big list.

Unfortunately, he'll now be a part of our state's history along with Ed Gein & Jeffrey Dahmer.

Thanks for the ping, Ladysmith. I'm sorry to hear that this brutal murder will still be unsolved. Someone, somewhere knows what happened so I'll keep hoping and praying that eventually this case will be solved.
