Wisconsin police have charged a man suspected of a 1992 double homicide.
Tony Haase, now 51, is accused of killing both the daughter of the man who was involved in a snowmobile crash with Haase’s father 15 years prior and her boyfriend. Waupaca County Sheriff’s Office has since charged Haase with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide.
Tanna Togstad and Timothy Mumbrue were found stabbed to death in their farmhouse in rural Waupaca County. Togstad was stabbed once in the chest, and Mumbrue was stabbed multiple times, with their pet dog also stabbed to death.
After giving a DNA sample during a traffic stop last month, police discovered Haase was a “major male contributor” to the fluids found on the scene, according to a police report. Haase admitted to the decades-old murders Thursday after initially denying involvement.
Haase then admitted to investigators that the murders happened after he’d been bar hopping alone on March 20, 1992. As he became drunk, Haase thought about his father, who had died in a snowmobile race after a crash with Togstad’s father when Haase was 7 years old.

Haase admitted there was a scuffle between him and Mumbrue the evening of the murders when he arrived at the couple’s home.
The suspect explained he didn’t tell the police right away because “I didn’t want it to sound like I had it planned.”

Haase was booked into the Waupaca County jail Thursday and appeared in court Friday, where bond was set to $2 million cash. He will be back in court on Tuesday.
