Suspect named in 2012 Gallmeyer murder

Chickasaw County Sheriff's office reported a suspectin the death of Carl Kenneth Gallmeyer last Wednesday, Jan. 8.
According to a statement, Randy Lee Patrie of Charles City, 41, is a suspect in the murder of 70-year-old Gallmeyer.

The Clarksville native was in his home in rural Nashua when he was found dead on Oct. 4, 2012.

“I think to suspect [someone] that far out on a limb [is questionable],” said Galen Gallmeyer, brother of Ken Gallmeyer. “Whatever happened to being innocent until proven guilty? That is the way I have to look at it. The family has known about this for a long time, and I don’t understand why the sheriff [Todd Miller] is doing this now.”
