On September 22nd, 2003, Navy veteran David Vander was shot five times in the back of the head inside his home in Randall, Wisconsin. He had been married to Roxanna Collins for just two months. There was no forced entry, no struggle, no robbery — only a calculated execution by someone he trusted. Roxanna blamed a mysterious intruder. Neighbor John Viscusil claimed he had been fishing alone that night. Their stories held just enough water, and the case went cold.
For 22 years, both lived quietly as ordinary neighbors, seemingly untouchable. But on May 28th, 2025, everything changed. In a coordinated operation across state lines, detectives arrested both suspects on the same day. Roxanna, now 70, was pulled over in Illinois for failing to use her turn signal — a routine stop that ended in handcuffs when detectives revealed a warrant for first-degree intentional homicide. Miles away, John Viscusil, also 70, was calmly arrested at his front door. Both asked for their lawyers and said little else.
What finally broke the case open was not one dramatic revelation but a series of accumulated mistakes. John’s ex-girlfriend came forward, revealing that his fishing alibi never added up — particularly his suspicious explanation for bleached, soaking wet clothes. More critically, Roxanna had told neighbors David was shot before police had even processed the scene, revealing knowledge only the killer could possess. Secret phone calls between the two on the day of the murder completed the picture — exposing a hidden affair, a betrayal, and a 22-year cover-up.
Both were charged with first-degree intentional homicide. As of 2026, the trial is ongoing. If convicted, they face mandatory life in prison — a final reckoning for a secret they thought they had buried forever.
