CHIPPEWA FALLS - Russell Plummer’s family believes there are still some unanswered questions about his death. The 20-year old National Guard soldier was found dead in the Chippewa County Forest two and a half years ago.
Jay North is Plummer’s father. He says his son couldn’t have fallen down a hill and wound up in the location he was found because there are too many trees. The cause of death was listed as, quoting here, “possibly hypothermia.” His family says Plummer would have been able to crawl the 30 yards to his waiting car if he had hypothermia.
They are holding a public meeting today in Cleveland where they plan to start circulating a petition calling on the sheriff to reopen the case.
