Body of Wisconsin man recovered from lake, reportedly fell through ice while fishing
HAMMEL, Wis. (WFRV) – A 69-year-old Wisconsin man’s body was recovered from a lake after he was reported missing by his wife, who said he hadn’t returned home from an ice fishing trip.
According to the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, the 911 call came in around 4:17 p.m. on Friday from a caller who was reporting that her husband was ice fishing on the Washington Flowage near their home in Hammel, but he had not yet returned and may have fallen through the ice.
Taylor County Deputies and several other agencies were sent to the scene, where they found a single sled trail leading to an open spot on the ice where a sled was found.
Bruce’s Legacy and Wings of Hope, a pair of non-profits specializing in open water searches, were called to the scene along with the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team for search and rescue efforts.
Officials later found the 69-year-old man, identified as Randall Runge of Medford, dead inside the lake, with no indication of foul play.
An investigation is ongoing.
Nearly 50 guns and lots of ammunition was stolen from a Wisconsin sporting goods store in February, and investigators are now offering $10,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
The St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are investigating the theft, which happened in the early hours of Feb. 12 at Russell’s Sport N’ Bike in Star Prairie.
Officials say that the suspect got into the federally licensed store through a window before stealing the firearms and ammunition.
Anyone with information can call the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office at 715-386-4701 or email tipline@sccwi.gov to submit a tip.

What to do during a flood warning
- If advised to evacuate, do so immediately.
- Use a battery-operated radio or television to get the latest emergency information.
- Do not walk through floodwater. Just six inches of floodwater can sweep you off your feet if it is moving swiftly.
- Turn around, don’t drown; do not drive into a flooded street. Cars can be swept away by two feet of moving water or there may be unseen damage to the road. If you come to a flooded area turn around and go another way. Most flood-related deaths are caused by people driving through water.
- Watch out for fire hazards.
- Move to higher ground.
- Stay alert, turn weather notifications on.
- Do not allow children to play in flowing water. Waters can hide rocks, trees and debris.
