Confessions of a Killer? MPD Look Into Seitz's Past

  • Print

There is new information in the "confession of a killer".

The Milwaukee Police Department is looking deeper into Vernon Seitz's past.

Seitz allegedly told his psychiatrist he was forced to kill a teenage boy and asked her to tell police.

They haven't found anything to that story, but they are still running down leads to see if Seitz may have played a part in any child abductions or murders.

Documents obtained by TODAY'S TMJ4 reveal milwaukee police went to check the well being of Seitz, who was 62, last month.

The barber from St. Francis was dead of natural causes, but they also found evidence of a very disturbed man.

The search warrant shows police found child pornography, paintings of boys being tortured and books on cannibalism.

They also found missing children flyers from nearby states along with news clippings on missing children.

Now Milwaukee Police have obtained records from Seitz's psychiatrist to see if the troubled barber could have been involved in any missing persons cases or murders.

Dr. Victoria Fetters couldn't talk about her notes, but told TODAY'S TMJ4's Melanie Stout that Seitz repeatedly claimed he had been forced to murder a 14-year-old boy 50 years ago.

"He came to see me because he was having issues with post traumatic stress disorder, chronic anxiety, anxiety attacks, nightmares insomnia, disturbing thoughts," said Fetters.

The psychiatrist couldn't say whether she thought Seitz was capable of harming any child but did agree the findings in the house were strange.

Milwaukee Police say they've spent hundreds of hours investigating Seitz and found no evidence of a crime.
