His family is grateful arrests were made quickly.
“Growing up, he was absolutely amazing,” said Allen Lembach, Odehnal’s son.
It’s been easier to think about the past for the last couple of weeks than the present.
“We knew he cared,” said Kathleen Odehnal, the victim’s daughter. “He loved his family and his kids.”
The two think of happier times in their dad’s life, rather than how it ended.
Investigators say the 56-year-old was sitting on his couch watching a movie on Wednesday, April 3, when bullets came through the window.
Police arrested 26-year-old Joshua Richardson after dashcam video captured the shooting and the car. 35-year-old Melodie Olson was also arrested after police say she helped him get away.
They face the following criminal counts:
- First-degree reckless homicide (Richardson)
- First-degree recklessly endangering safety (Richardson)
- Attempting to flee or elude an officer (Richardson)
- Possession of a firearm by a felon (Richardson)
- Disorderly conduct-two counts (Richardson)
- Harboring or aiding a felon (Olson)
- Misdemeanor bail jumping (Olson)
“It’s just unreal,” Lembach said.
Investigators say the shooting was in retaliation for a cocaine deal that involved a debt.

The victim’s children explained their father turned to drugs after their mother died during childbirth.

“He was an amazing person who just couldn’t deal with the loss of his wife and that’s why he chose the path he did,” Lembach said.
They are leaning on each other as they mourn and remember their father, focusing on justice.
“Despite how he was living his life and what happened, it doesn’t define who he was as a person,” Lembach said.
The two arrested are both being held in jail.
Richardson’s bond was set at $250,000 and Olson’s $1,000.

Nate Vomhof: Behind the drone that makes Milwaukee shine
The other week, Milwaukee Uncut had Nate Vomhof, aka Drone Nate, on the podcast. While you may not be familiar with the name, chances are you’ve seen some of his incredible drone footage of Milwaukee.
Nate’s story is unique because he didn’t aspire to be a drone videographer/photographer. In fact, he went to UWM to study engineering but only attended for a semester before dropping out. After working at Walgreens for some time, he decided to become a pharmacist and enrolled in pharmacy school. During his last rotation in the program, he was placed on a Navajo Reservation down in Arizona where his love for photography would begin.
“I wanted to have a nice camera to take photos of the great American Southwest,” he explained.
When he returned, he would continue taking pictures, capturing the city with his camera. In 2018, after photographing Milwaukee from the streets, he decided he wanted to shoot a new, aerial, perspective of the city. So, he bought a drone and took to the sky for a bird’s eye view.
Along the way, he would post his pictures on Instagram, slowly garnering a following. While it was never his intention to turn it into anything, before long he had people asking how they could purchase his pictures.
“I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to sell a photo,” he said.
Eventually, his passion would turn into a second source of income as companies were then asking to buy his photographs. As he would recall, it was a huge learning experience for him as he had no idea how much to price photos or videos for.
Over the last couple years, Nate’s drone content of Milwaukee has really taken off and helped paint the city in a positive light. Several times a week he shares beautiful shots of Milwaukee with his 23,000-plus followers on Instagram, and he’s even met people who have moved to the city after following his account. It’s also brought opportunities he’s never expected, like the filming for “Top Chef” when they were in Milwaukee.
“They had me for 12 hours,” he explained. “I had to do the craziest shot of my life … ”
In this episode, we talk more about Nate’s experiences capturing the beautiful city we call home and some of his favorite parts about Milwaukee.
