The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has a few more details about the time Wade Michael Page apparently spent living in South Milwaukee in the months leading up to Sunday’s Sikh Temple shootings in Oak Creek.
Here is the story. From it:
Page, 40, moved in with a woman and her son in late 2011 in a building of a half-dozen apartments in South Milwaukee. The woman had lived in the apartment with her son for a couple of years before Page moved in.
The woman and Page and the boy lived in a second-floor apartment, just off the street. Those who lived around them said they were mostly invisible, except for occasional loud music.
Robert Hauglie Sr., who has three boys and lives in a lower unit, said the woman’s son was never outside. Thinking back, Hauglie said it was odd how little he saw the couple. He didn’t even see them bringing in groceries.
They moved out earlier this year without a sign, he said.
“The way we knew they were gone is someone else moved in,” Hauglie said.
The couple moved a mile or so away to another apartment in South Milwaukee in February or March.
Page worked nights at a local factory and again would disappear with the woman on the weekend, according to neighbors.
“Nobody knew him. He kept to himself,” said Terry Page, who lived downstairs and is not related to Wade Page. He said he had only one conversation when he told Page he could use the gas grill in the backyard. Page grunted.
Another neighbor said the woman’s son would knock out the second-floor screen and throw his toys out the window. Page or the woman would come down and gather them up.
Page stayed for a while, moving out in June and finding a place to live in Cudahy.
The woman left her South Milwaukee apartment Monday morning with her father, neighbors said.
Of note, WhitePages.com still lists a Wade Page as living in the 700 block of Minnesota Ave. in South Milwaukee.
