On Tuesday morning in Wisconsin Dells, the body of a guy from New Berlin who had been missing was discovered, according to authorities.
According to the Wisconsin Dells Police Department, a request was made to the police on Saturday at 4 p.m. to inquire about the well-being of 37-year-old Matthew Haas of New Berlin. After leaving the Wisconsin Dell’s downtown area at about midnight on January 1, Haas has yet to be heard from or seen.
Police claim that they could pinpoint Haas’s last pinged location using information from his cell phone. Then, in the late afternoon, police started searching that area.
Police conducted synchronised searches in the area on foot, with a police K9, and with drones early on January 2. There were cliffs and ravines in the wooded area near the Wisconsin River. According to the police, search operations were discontinued in the evening due to the challenging and hazardous terrain.

People’s condolences to Matthew Haas
I’m sorry for the family; it’s so tragic. In particular, in the Midwest, many males are discovered in bodies of water, especially those who have been drinking. I wish there were more of an effort to look into these issues.
The unfortunate situation that took place was not anything we expected. To respect Matthew’s family’s and friends’ right to privacy during this challenging time, the Wisconsin Dells Police Department would like to convey profound condolences to them.
Shame on Sarah Ann Seegers. Despite being under the influence of drugs? I keep repeating, “So they all just wander outside in the freezing weather and don’t feel it,” I’ve had alcohol before, but I could still feel the cold, so that I would go back inside. George from Stillwater was the family member who fell in at Brian’s Bar and continues to walk by the river. My apologies.
I continue to think foul play was involved in this case since there is no way George could have travelled more than 3 miles on foot while wearing no jacket, no gloves, and in temperatures as low as -4 degrees Celsius with the wind. Plain BS won’t do for me! There are many cover-ups, justifications, or corruption—in many situations, though notall.
