Sandra Dufek, 39
WI, Pensaukee,
Oconto Co.
October 23, 2004
Sandra was beaten to death in her home with a crowbar by her ex-boyfriend, David Roger, 40. At the time of Sandra’s murder, David was in jail for assaulting her but had Huber work privileges. On the day of her homicide, David was on work release and Sandra picked him up at work and they drove to her house. When David did not return to jail at the expected time, police went to Sandra’s house to locate him and check on Sandra’s welfare, since he had made threatening comments toward her. They found Sandra’s body on the kitchen floor. The next day, police found David driving Sandra’s car in Green Bay.
In September 2003,
David attacked Sandra and was charged with 4thDegree Sexual Assault. While this
case was pending, David assaulted Sandra again in February of 2004 and he was
charged with Disorderly Conduct, Battery, Second Degree Sexual Assault/Use of
Force and Bail Jumping. On the day of the assault Sandra filed a Domestic Abuse
Temporary Restraining Order against David and subsequently the Restraining
Order was granted for two years. In her petition she described different ways
that David had verbally and physically threatened and abused her. According to
Sandra, “many threats to my life were made and promises to find a way to get
even with me if I didn’t do things his way or tried to get rid of him.” She
believed he would carry out his threats and also worried about him hurting her
family. He told her he had done jail time before and had no problem doing it
again.
In May 2004, five
months before the homicide, he pled no contest attempted Second Degree Sexual
Assault and the other charges were dismissed. He was ordered to serve one year
in jail with Huber work privileges to be followed by three years of probation. He
was required to undergo alcohol assessment and counseling and register as a
convicted sex offender. During these five months David used his Huber
privileges to stalk Sandra and her mother.
Just a few days
after David’s sentence, Sandra vacated the two year Restraining Order. A few
days before killing Sandra, a fellow inmate of David’s, stated that David
accused him of sleeping with Sandra. In response to his denial of this
accusation, David said, “It does not matter anyway. I have been thinking about
killing her and her mother too.”
David Rogers was
charged with First Degree Intentional Homicide, pled guilty and was sentenced
to life in prison without the possibility of extended supervision. While he
awaited sentencing for the murder, his probation for the February assault was
revoked and he was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison with 7.5 years of extended
supervision. This sentence is to run concurrent with his sentence of life in
prison.
