WEST ALLIS, Wis. -- A former police officer charged in the deaths of two women -- one from the Twin Cities -- whose bodies were stuffed into suitcases and left on a rural Wisconsin highway met his victims online, according to police and a criminal complaint.
Steven Zelich, 52, a security officer, was charged Thursday with two counts of hiding a corpse.
He was arrested Wednesday, when detectives wearing hazmat suits removed large bags of evidence and a refrigerator from his apartment in West Allis, a Milwaukee suburb.
Highway workers discovered two suitcases containing female remains June 5 in the Town of Geneva, about 50 miles southwest of Milwaukee.
Police identified one woman as Laura Simonson, 37, of Farmington.
Authorities have not released the identity of the second woman. Simonson was found naked with a rope around her neck and a ball gag strapped in her mouth with a collar, according to the criminal complaint filed in Walworth County, Wis.

Wisconsin in general. Don’t forget Ed Gein.
“Stop resisting! Stop resisting!”
“Don’t forget Ed Gein.”
Wasn’t he the lampshade maker? I used to live in Milwaukee, and people didn’t like to talk about Eddie! Quite a story! Pretty creepy movie about him too.

He used skulls as bowls.
Probably got them from the grave yard, being a bit of an incestuous necrophiliac, when he dug up his mother.
Probably killed his (twin?) brother, too, and set a forest fire to cover his misdeeds.
Quite a piece of work. I think he was diagnosed as schizoid when finally locked up.
His grave marker was stolen one too many times so the local LEOs keep it locked up in evidence storage.
*GROAN*
“Quite a piece of work.”
Abdo-Lutely!
