I A-8 La Crosse Tribune. Saturday, July 27, 1991-- MILWAUKEE MASS MURDER I THE VICTIMSk Probation agent says Dahmer discussed LaaHisiin) ffamily vMmfeedl twice by suspected tiler; Iff' 3 MILWAUKEE (AP) A family who fled Laos a decade ago was unable to escape the horror of molestation and murder in two encounters with Jeffrey Dahmer, who is accused of killing and dismembering victims in his apartment. The first ended with a teen-age boys molestation. The second ended with the mutilation death of a younger brother. Less than two years after Dahmer apologized for sexually assaulting the teen-age boy, the family learned late Thursday that his younger brother, Konerak Sinthasomphone, 14, was found among 11 mutilated bodies in Dahmers apartment.

Obviously anyone who has gone through such a tragedy as this would wonder if theyve chosen the right path for their lives, the Rev. Peter Burns, a Roman Catholic priest and family friend, said Friday. The family is filled with a lot of different emotion. Anger is certainly one of them, Burns said at a news conference. Konerak Sinthasomphone had been missing since May 26, when he disappeared on a Sunday afternoon.

We thought it likely that he was in there. The whole thing is crazy. It is terrible. I dont know what to say, Anoukone Sinthasomphone, the 25-year-old AP photo VICTIMS FAMILY: Keison, right, and Samone Sinthasomphone join their cousins John and Robin Sisouk (back and left) on their front porch Friday afternoon. The family had two encounters with suspected killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

brother of the two boys, said. The two tragedies struck in a family who came to Milwaukee after fleeing Laos in 1980 to escape the repression of communism, members of Milwaukees Laotian community said. It is like you are running and you think you escape but you are coming to a dangerous world in this place, said Shoua executive director of the Lao Fami-1 ly Community Jo Kolanda, coordinator of Mil- waukee Countys victim-witness program, said it is hard for fami- -lies to cope with a killing of a rela- tive, let alone have a separate relative previously assaulted by the confessed killer. I cant think of anything worse, she said. 1 JOSEPH BRADEHOFT: Police identified Joseph Bradehoft, 25, originally of St.

The movie, starring Jeff Fahey and due out Aug. 2, involves a criminal psychologist who receives a limb transplant.

Foot found in city where Dahmers mother lives FRESNO, Calif. (AP) Police said Friday they will check to see if there is any connection between the Milwaukee man whose apartment was filled with body parts and a human foot found in a Fresno field four months ago.

The client has dirty clothes, is unshaven and during the interviews was yawning as if having problems staying awake, a probation agents report said. The client is in severe financial difficulty. He will lose his apartment the 1st of August. He talks again of suicide, the agent wrote after a July 18 meeting with Dahmer. One of Dahmers victims, 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasom-phone, a son of Laotian immigrants, disappeared May 26 on his way to soccer practice.

His older brother had been molested in Dahmers apartment in 1988 and Dahmer was on probation for that crime. Dahmer had lured the youth, then 13, into his apartment by promising $50 if he posed for pictures. Police Chief Philip Arreola said Friday there was no indication the killing of Sinthasomphone was in retaliation for Dahmers sexual assault conviction involving the victims brother. Dahmers probation officer never visited him at his apartment after he was released from jail in March 1990, as is required in most other cases. And neighbors failed to tell authorities of the foul-smelling stench, cutting sounds and screams coming from the apartment.

Dahmers father, Lionel, called Milwaukee television talk show host Joe Smith on Thursday to say: I did not realize how sick he was. I realize now that he is mentally ill, but I did not know the extent. Sands Bingo Hall reopens B' From staff and wire reports BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. -The Sands Bingo Hall reopened without incident Friday afternoon, 11 days after being shut down by Winnebago tribal officials. A spokeswoman at the bingo hall said Friday night the Six Pack faction of the tribe reopened the hall at 5 p.m.

without any trouble. The tribes bingo halls near Wisconsin Dells, Black River Falls and Wisconsin Rapids were among 10 businesses and offices that tribal officials led by Tribal Chairwoman JoAnn Jones began shutting down July 15 so that financial records could be audited. There were reports that income handled by the tribes Business Committee was unaccounted for. The Six Pack faction which includes committee members objected to the business closings and participated in protests last week. Efforts to re-open the Ho Chunk Bingo Parlor near Wisconsin Dells were thwarted Friday when a judge refused to make the Sauk County sheriff hand over keys to the parlor.

Judge James Evensori denied a motion by Jenna a firm that provides equipment for the tribes gambling businesses, including the Ilo Chunk Bingo Parlor near Wisconsin Dells, Sheriff Virgil Steinhorst helped tribal leaders close the Wisconsin Dells bingo hall, saying there was a risk of violence if it stayed open. Jenna argued Steinhorst overstepped his authority by keeping it closed since July 19. The sheriff said he would keep the keys until a court decides which of the political factions should have them. The county argued that forcing the sheriff to surrender the keys would restrict his authority in keeping peace.
