Missing Men Found Dead From Wilke Lake Two Drowning Victims in Still in Automobile
Pleuss, Jacobson Object of Search Since Saturday
KIEL—The bodies of two young married men missing since Wednesday night or early
Thursday were recovered from an automobile submerged in about eight feet of water
in Wilke Lake 3-1/2 miles northeast of this city Sunday morning.
The drowning victims were identified by Manitowoc County authorities as Terry J.
Pleuss, 24, of 1927 S. 10th St., Manitowoc, and Thomas A. Jacobson, 25, of Rt. 1,
Cato. Each was the father of two children.
The men were pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. R. G. Strong, acting county
coroner.
Investigating officers said the Pleuss car drove off a boat landing and continued
about 120 feet into the water before it stopped. A blacktopped town road with a
gradual 50 foot incline leads into the boat landing area.
