Hardly any info yet.

A week after two children were found dead inside their home, police haven't announced an arrest or released additional details about what took place.

William Beyer, 5, and Danielle Beyer, 3, were found dead by police shortly after 7 a.m. Feb. 17 in the upper level of a duplex. Both children had "intentionally inflicted injuries," Kaukauna Police Chief Jamie Graff said last week.

In a statement released Monday morning, Graff indicated that he didn't have any new information to release about the case.

"This is still an ongoing investigation and our investigative team, along with multiple outside agencies, are working on the case," he said. "I will advise when I can give further information."

Police have yet to discuss any details about potential suspects or theories about possible motives.

Graff revealed last week that the person who called 911 before police found the two children dead inside their home told a dispatcher “their children needed help,” but Graff declined to identify the caller.

Graff has also indicated that investigators have spoken to both parents of the children, but hasn't disclosed anything about the content of those conversations.

Outagamie County family court records indicate the children's biological parents were Melissa Schuth and Matthew Beyer, who are estranged. Schuth is listed as living at the Kaukauna duplex and Beyer is listed with a Manitowoc address.

Any updates on this?

Any updates on this?

Last thing I found was mid March..

No arrests have been made in the Kaukauna deaths, leaving the community to ask not only why someone would kill young children, but also who did it and how.

Two young children found dead inside a Wisconsin home nearly three months ago have still not been laid to rest as police are yet to make any arrests in the mysterious case.

Little William Beyer, 5, and his younger sister Danielle, three, were found dead by police at around 7am on February 17, having suffered ‘intentionally inflicted injuries’.

The person who dialled 911 from inside the home ‘indicated their children needed help,’ Kaukauna Police Chief Jamie Graff said in a press conference at the time.

But with more than eighty days having passed since their tragic deaths, police are still yet to name any suspects in the case or release details about what specifically happened to the two young children.

‘Will and Dani were inseparable,’ a joint obituary for the children reads online. ‘Will was Dani's protector and Dani always looked up to Will. They were both always smiling with their great big smiles and were just happy to always be together.’

The last official update came from police in early March, in which Graff said both local and state investigators were still working on the case.

‘This is definitely not a cold case,’ Graff insisted to The Post-Crescent last week, failing to disclose anything further.

In the obituary, the children were listed as being survived by their mom and step-dad, Melissa and Tyler Schuth, as well as their biological father, Matt Beyer.

At the time of their deaths, William and Danielle were understood to be living with their mother and Schuth inside the Kaukauna duplex. Meanwhile, Beyer was listed as living at an address in Manitowoc.

Graff has indicated in the past that investigators talked to the parents of the children but has routinely refused to disclose any details of those conversations. He’s also declined to speak about potential suspects or any possible motives.

Former homicide detective Jim Trainum explained that a possible reason for the lack of information about the case could be because certain details regarding the deaths may only be known by the perpetrator, so releasing that information publicly could foil the investigation.

‘We always want these things solved quickly, but if you move too fast because you're under pressure, you make missteps,’ he told the Post Crescent.

Police might already know who committed the crime, even if they're still putting all of the pieces together before sending the case to prosecutors, Trainum said.

Thinking stepdad.

"The father of two siblings ages 5 and 3 is under arrest and accused of "intentional homicide" more than three months after the pair's lifeless bodies were found inside a Kaukauna, Wisconsin, home.

Police on Friday offered no details in announcing the arrest of Matthew Beyer, of Manitowoc, who was the biological father of William, 5 and Danielle Beyer, 3.

The children's bodies were located on the second floor of a duplex shortly after 7 a.m. Feb. 17, dead from what the medical examiner's office previously confirmed to PEOPLE were "intentionally inflicted injuries."

Matthew Beyer was booked into the Outagamie County Jail in connection with their deaths, with the Kaukauna Police Department forwarding charges of two counts of first-degree intentional homicide to the Outagamie County District Attorney’s Office, the police agency said in a brief statement posted to its Facebook page.

"We want to thank the community for their cooperation and patience during the investigation of this incident," said the statement."

Well that fucking sucks. There very own god damn dad.

I absolutely adore that picture where he his tickling his sister in their pajamas. I especially like how his top doesn’t match his bottoms-somehow makes it more real.

As devastating as it is that two lives were lost, I’m glad they went together. Even if it’s not true, I’d like to think that they’re together and inseparable in heaven.

Look at the hate in his face. I see nothing resembling remorse.

Well that took an interesting turn.

Matthew Beyer has pleaded not guilty to charges that he killed his two young children.

Beyer, 36, entered his plea to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide. Beyer is charged in the stabbing deaths of 5-year-old William and 3-year-old Danielle Beyer, whose bodies were discovered Feb. 17.

A trial date was not set.

On Monday, a judge also approved the release of the children’s bodies to their mother, who plans to have them cremated. Beyer and his attorney endorsed the decision.

The children’s mother called police to report their deaths. The mother and Beyer both said the two of them did not have a good relationship and were scheduled to appear in court later that day for a family court hearing.

Beyer also faces charges of attempted escape and taking hostages, for allegedly trying to break out of the Outagamie County jail.

Beyer has denied any role in the killings.

A Manitowoc man accused of murdering his children in Kaukauna will have a jury trial -- but not for another year.

The Outagamie County court scheduled Matthew Beyer’s trial for late November and early December, 2021. The court set aside 10 days for the trial at the hearing on Friday.

The children were found dead in their mother’s home on February 17. Prosecutors say Beyer traveled from Manitowoc to Kaukauna to kill the children, who were 3 and 5 years old. The criminal complaint alleges he didn’t have a good relationship with the mother or her husband, and Beyer’s own wife didn’t want the children in her home or be left alone with them. Also according to the complaint, a friend of Beyer’s wife told police that Beyer didn’t believe he was the father of the children and was upset about having to pay child support when the mother wouldn’t let him see the children. Police say Beyer is their biological parent.

He’s also charged in an attempted escape from the Outagamie County Jail with another inmate in June.

Beyer pleaded not guilty to two counts of First-Degree Intentional Homicide, Taking Hostages, and Escape.

So he killed them over money. He didn't want them, it wasn't a custody battle, because his new wife didn't want them in her home or to be left alone with them. So he killed them over having to pay child support. What a rat bastard.

Matthew Beyer, the man charged with the deaths of his two young children in Kaukauna, was expected to enter a new plea in court Monday but instead chose not to do so.

"Mr. Beyer no longer wants to enter a plea," Amanda Skorr, Beyer's attorney, told Outagamie County Judge Mark McGinnis.

Beyer, 37, of Manitowoc appeared in court alongside Skorr but didn't speak during the hearing.

McGinnis asked what changed in the past week.

"At this time we've not reached an agreement with the state," Skorr said.

After the hearing, Skorr declined to say what the new plea might have been had Beyer proceeded with it.

The development means Beyer's case remains scheduled for a 10-day jury trial starting Sept. 6.

Beyer was charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide nearly four months after his two children, 5-year-old William Beyer and 3-year-old Danielle Beyer, were found dead on Feb. 17, 2020.

He also was charged with two other felonies related to an attempted escape from the Outagamie County Jail that took place shortly after his arrest.

Beyer had previously pleaded not guilty and has been jailed since his arrest on a $2.5 million cash bond. If convicted of the homicide charges, Beyer could spend the rest of his life in prison.

An autopsy determined William Beyer suffered eight “sharp force injuries” to his neck and head and Danielle Beyer suffered five “sharp force injuries” to her neck, the criminal complaint said.

The murder trial for a man who allegedly killed his two children at their Kaukauna home will be held separately from the trial on charges he tried to escape from the jail. And it appears increasingly likely the murder trial will be postponed from its scheduled start Sept. 6.

Matthew Beyer, 37, is charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide for allegedly killing William, 5, and Danielle Beyer, 3, who were found dead in their Kaukauna home on Feb. 17, 2020. Beyer also faces charges of taking a hostage and attempted escape in connection with an unsuccessful attempt to escape from the Outagamie County jail in June 2020.

On Monday, Judge Mark McGinnis agreed to split the homicide and escape charges. He noted alleged acts happened on different days, have different witnesses, and different victims.

The murder trial is scheduled for Sept. 6, but last month prosecutors revealed the state crime lab continues to do testing of evidence from the crime scene, including the use of relatively new and complex testing methods. As a result, the defense team said it needed more to time get an expert witness to evaluate those reports.

However, when pressed Monday to confirm that the murder trial will not start Sept. 6, Judge McGinnis declined to do so. He asked the attorneys for more written briefs on the evidence & expert issues, and will schedule another hearing, perhaps next week.

If the murder trial does not happen Sept. 6, it appears the escape case would proceed to trial that day.

It was swift justice in Outagamie County Tuesday afternoon when jurors found Matthew Beyer guilty of killing his two young children, reaching a verdict less than an hour after starting deliberations.

Then the judge sentenced Beyer to two life prison terms without parole less than an hour after the verdict was read.

The jury heard closing arguments Tuesday morning on whether Beyer could have stabbed and killed his two children, 5-year-old William and 3-year-old Danielle, at their mother’s house in Kaukauna in February 2020.


Jurors had a lunch break and started deliberations at about 1:30. The court announced they reached a verdict about 10 minutes after 2. The court waited for family members to arrive.

“The defendant had the opportunity to murder Will and Dani in the early hours of February 17th,” the prosecution told jurors in closing arguments.

Reporter Emily Beier says the defendant showed no emotion when the verdicts were read but the children’s mother was fighting back tears.

The judge and both sides confirmed they are ready to move to the sentencing phase and the judge scheduled that to happen immediately, at 3 p.m. Beier was brought back into the courtroom, now wearing an orange jail jumpsuit instead of a dress shirt.

William and Danielle’s mother, stepfather and stepgrandfather made emotional statements. Beyer didn’t turn to face Melissa or Tyler Schuth or Kevin Schuth when they pleaded to the judge to sentence Beyer to life without the eligibility for parole.

“We’re not going to get to see them grow up, to see what they become in life or what they were gonna do. Not only did we lose our children, their families, our community, lost two valuable little people that never ever got to see anything further than 5 and 3, and nothing, even him being found guilty, will ever change that hole in my heart,” Melissa Schuth cried.

Beyer remained emotionless, as he did through the entire trial.

The prosecutor said Beyer was not a father to his two young children.

“It’s no wonder why they called Tyler ‘Dad’ sometimes, because to a kid a dad is the person who is there every day, on the ins and the outs, the hard and good days, the fun times and the bad times. That’s a dad. That was Tyler. That’s who they saw, because their biological dad, he didn’t show. They’d drive to Brillion thinking they were gonna see him and he wouldn’t even show up. That’s what happened on the 15th, two days before he killed them,” prosecutor Mindy Tempelis said.
