Wis. Police ID Three Bodies Found at Lake
Associated Press/AP Online
PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. - A father and two sons missing from Chicago for more than a month were identified Sunday as the bodies that washed ashore on Lake Michigan bound together by nylon rope and tied to bags filled with sand.
"We consider these deaths to be very suspicious and this case is being handled by law enforcement as a homicide," said Pleasant Prairie Police Chief Brian J. Wagner.
The victims were identified as Kevin L. Amde, 45; Davinci Amde, 6; and Tesla E. Amde, 3.
The bodies were found Saturday by a resident on a beach in Pleasant Prairie, just north of the Illinois state line.
The victims were last seen May 6, when the father picked up the oldest boy from school in Chicago, Wagner said.
The children's mother, Veronica Amde, reported them missing May 11. Wagner said she did not want to comment Sunday.
No cause of death has been released, and there was no evidence of trauma on any of them, Wagner said. A medical examiner said the three appeared to have been in the water since about the time they were reported missing.
The three were found tied at the waist. They were fully clothed but not wearing life jackets, said Anthony Riley, petty officer with the U.S. Coast Guard.
Also tied to the bodies were two nylon book bags, which contained two plastic bags filled with sand.
"One of the children also had pants pockets filled with sand, which had been zipped closed," Wagner said.
Sgt. Stephanie Stuart of the Chicago Police Department said Kevin Amde often took his children on trips without telling his wife - sometimes visiting Wisconsin, where they had family in Racine.
Stuart said there was no indication that the couple were having problems.
"From every indication that we've gotten so far, he was a very loving father," she said. "He had no enemies."
Wagner would not say whether any suspects had been questioned.
"We're not prepared to rule anything in or out at this point," he said.

Good news (and bad news) everyone!
My trip to DL/DCA/SFMM may be back on. I was supposed to go to a class for workl in Palm Springs the end of July. I was going to piggyback a little vacation on to it, as the company is paying for the airfare already. Well, a few weeks ago I heard the class was canceled, then, it was back on, but I could not go due to budget restraints. Now, my boss is strongly thinking of sending me!!!
The only problems is that the class is July 25-28, so I would miss the WDW Meet
But, on a good note, I would be able to visit DL/DCA/SFMM (and maybe KBF) the end of July! :sohappy:

You might be missing the WDW meet, but if you go a week later, we might actually have enough people for a DL Meet. So far, Kirsten, Adam, and me are gonna be there.

I wish the class a few days later, but it is not....and I can't really stay out there for 10 extra days while the company is paying for it.
