October 11, 1996 Benton County, Arkansas John Doe

On October 16, 1996 a fisherman stumbled upon a sleeping bag floating in Beaver Lake located in Rogers, Arkansas. Inside was the remains of a man and two pillows. It was estimated he'd died from blunt force trauma to the head and may have been dead for possibly a year. It's believed the sleeping bag may have been weighed down and it had broken free and floated. The area where the body was found was steep and wooded. It could be possible that it either floated to the area or was brought there by boat.

He was a white male between 30 and 60 years old. He was 5'9" to 5'11". He may have done hard labor as work or was a weight lifter. He had Myositis Ossificans on the right medial distal portion of the humerus.  According to the condition of his teeth he may have been a heavy smoker or coffee drinker or both.

Murder of William Wolf Jr.

On August 17 1978 a Bette Wolf reported her second oldest missing from Fargo, Minnesota. Her son William Wolf Jr. hadn't been seen since the 15th and she was worried about him. Unfortantly the family will soon learn that William had been murdered.

On August 20, 1978 3 miles north of Kragnes, Minnesota someone canoeing on the Red River found a green trash bags floats. When the man opened one of the bags he found something horrifying inside. It was the  half of a man. The other half was found in another green trash bag hooked onto a tree 200 yards downstream on the North Dakota side of the river.

William had been dead for around 72 hours when his body was discovered. He was still wearing his clothes, tan work shirt, green pants, and work boots. He was cut in half at his waist with a band saw. He also had a long gash on his face and his throat was slashed. It took two days to confirm through Dentals that it was William.

For a while his father was a suspect in the case, but he had been cleared. It's now believed that his death may have been drug related. That he may have been in the low level drug scene and may have sold drugs. It's possible that there was more than one killer. But they believe he was killed somewhere in Cass County and then dumped in the river.

Blutfahne

The Blutfahne or the Blood flag was a sacred item of Nazi Germany. It was used in ceremonies sanctioning other Nazi flags during Hitlers reign.

It started at the Beer Hall Putsch on November 8 and 9 1923.  The Nazi party attempted to take over the government in Bavaria.  The Men were stooped by the Munich police and they fired upon them.

Heinrich Trambauer was carrying a Nazi flag when he was shot he fell dropping the flag. Andreas Bauriedl, who was marching next to Trambauer, was shot in the stomach and automatically died. When he fell to the ground he landed on the flag and soaked it with his blood.

This lead to Hitler's less than a year stay in prison and the creation of Mien Kampf. After Hitler was released the flag was essentially given to him and it became a symbol and ceremonial item.

Trambaur had taken the flag and had hidden it until he was able to give it to Karl Eggers. Eggers then gave the flag to Hitler once he was out of Landsberg Prison. The flag then was fitted for a new staff and a silver sleeve was dedicated to the martyrs from Putsch was placed upon it. It had the names of Bauriedl, Trambauer, and Von Stransky on it.

On July 4, 1926 the flag was presented by Hitler to the SA at the Party Rally in Weimar. The flag was given the name Blufahne. Hitler used it to consecrate new Nazi colors by holding it in one hand and Blufahne in the other.

Trambauer was selected by Joseph Berchtold,leader of the SS at the time, to be the bearer of the Blutfahne. Due to poor health and later a skull injury it was shared with  Jakob Grimminger until his death in 1942. Then Grimminger was the sole bearer.

The last time it was publicly seen was in April of 1944 at the funeral of Adolf Wagner. It was kept at the warehouse of Brown House in Munich, but may have been destroyed during the Allied bombings in Munich.

It is unknown what had happened to the flag and if it even still exists.
