A jury trial date has been scheduled for an over the road trucker from Kenosha charged in the cold case murder of a Sturdevant teenager in Fond du lac. Dennis Branter is scheduled to go on trial beginning June 6th on charges of first degree murder. Judge Gary Sharpe will preside over the trial which is scheduled to last a month. Motion hearings have been scheduled for January 14th and March 3rd. Brantner is being held in the Fond du Lac County Jail on a million dollars cash bail. He’s charged in the July 1990 murder of Berit Beck. She disappeared from the Forest Mall parking lot and her body was found about a month later in a roadside ditch near Waupun. Brantner was arrested earlier this year after detectives say his fingerprints were found in Beck’s van.
