Jane Hamann, 56

WI, Greenfield, Milwaukee Co.

March 7, 2004

Jane was shot in the head by her boyfriend, Joseph Bach, 49. She had been watching television with her father when Joseph entered the living room, walked up to her and shot her from a foot away. Her father told police officers he saw Joseph go into the bedroom and return to the living room with a handgun. He pointed it at his daughter’s head and shot.

Jane and Joseph lived together in an apartment with her father. On the night of the homicide, the police department received two ‘open line’ 911 calls. When the first call came in and no one was on the line, the dispatcher called back and spoke to Jane who “sounded hesitant when she said nothing was wrong” and that she meant to dial 411. Five minutes later, a second call came in from the house and no one was on the line. Police were quickly dispatched and arrived at the apartment where they found Jane dead.

According to the police department, Jane had asked Joseph to leave the apartment on the night of the homicide. He had a history of being verbally abusive toward Jane.
