Investigators were out again Tuesday, searching the home of Roger Rosenthal after finding his live-in girlfriend's body in the woods of Manitowoc County.
"They were doing a search of the residence this morning, the victim's residence. We also have an investigator down in Fond du Lac at the coroner's office," Manitowoc County Sheriff Robert Hermann said.
Right now investigators are waiting for results from the autopsy of Michelle Jaeger. That autopsy was done around noon Tuesday.
Jaeger, 39, of Chilton, was missing for nearly two weeks until her body was found Sunday near Brillion in northern Manitowoc County.
Her longtime boyfriend is being held in the Manitowoc County jail on a felony charge of hiding a corpse.
Tuesday morning, Calumet County officials were at the home the couple shared on Diane Court in Chilton, executive more search warrants.
They wouldn't comment on what specifically they were looking for but said they hope to find more evidence to build their case.
Action 2 News obtained copies of the two search warrants already executed where police took Rosenthal's blue 2001 Pontiac van along with obtaining Jaeger's phone records.
The warrants give you a good idea of what police were looking for, listing things such as forensic evidence, blunt objects, other tools, and containers large enough to hold a human body.
They do say whatever they find should give them a clearer timeline of when Jaeger died.
"Along with other information we're going to obtain through our investigation, whether it be Internet records, phone records, we should be able to determine when that activity stopped," Sheriff Hermann said.
Rosenthal is expected to appear in Manitowoc County court Wednesday on that felony charge.
Investigators say more charges may come.
