JUNE 5, 1985
On a warm Wednesday evening on June 5, 1985, Ada Sennenfelder ate a simple meal of meatloaf, corn from a can, and mashed potatoes, at the home of Van Lear Daniels in Winona, Minnesota. After thanking them, she mounted her 15 speed bike and rode home about 5:30 pm. Ada seemed worried about something but didn’t say what it might be. As this was her last meal, she had plenty to worry about. Her neighbors noticed her little house was busy after dark, though she, a mother of 5, was living by herself that night. All 5 were in foster care and in the process of being taken away from her permanently.
On this night, 3 different men were in jail on her testimony. One of them was about to get even. The neighbors were so used the endless traffic from the parties she held there, they didn’t even notice when she was murdered until the next morning. The biggest concern was when her children were there and being neglected and abused, and now that was over.
William Bartz, her next door neighbor, watched Magnum P I when he heard noises at her door. He and others saw her flick the porch light several times but thought nothing about it. No one bothered to check if she was all right. Bartz was awakened at 2:30 am when loud talking was coming from Ada’s residence.
In the morning, Mike Paskiewicz, was walking his dog when saw Ada lying against the window from her bedside. She looked tangled up in the curtains, and she looked sick. He had already taken note that her TV had been on all night since it was only a few feet from his house. He ran over to discover she was covered in blood and not moving. He called the Winona Police who arrived quickly and taped off the block. The agents from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension came in their white lab coats and investigated the scene for over 8 hours.
The news went out all over Winona- Ada Sennenfelder had been brutally stabbed over 30 times with a knife.
In 2006, this remained the only unsolved homicide. The DA offered a $50,000 reward and ended up arresting and convicting Jack Willis Nissalke. He is serving a life sentence right now. This is a true story.
The purpose of this blog is prove Jack Nissalke couldn’t have killed her. Come back Friday for more. Here is the book I wrote about this 2 years ago.

I am from the city this occurred in and knew most of the people involved I didn’t necessarily associate with them but I knew them plus I did a bit in Rush City while Jack was there I believe his story by the time I landed at Rush I had a built in lie detector that only a street guy can have I spent five years in the life mostly hi jacking tractor trailer rigs during my tenure in that life I learned how to look at someone and after a few minutes of conversation I can have a accurate idea of their personality and motives you learn that shit on the streets dealing with people Jack isn’t being deceptive he isn’t the typical offender at Rush how he stays positive and discipline free at Rush speaks volumes I was only there for a year before the unending disrespect from the staff drove me to assault several COs and with that I got transferred to the superman at Oak Park Jack had my admiration because he stayed positive and didn’t let the overwhelming undertone of hate and misery pull him in every guy in Rush knows Jack’s story and struggle and believe his story I am not saying he wasn’t there when Ada got clipped but as far as being the killer no I don’t buy it
