In a tragic turn of events in Dubuque County, Iowa, a death investigation, chase, and standoff have shaken the local community. The Dubuque County Sheriff’s Office has identified the victim as 32-year-old Tana Poppe, who was found dead in the 9000 block of Haxbylane Road following a report of a possible homicide.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Poppe had two children, a 13-year-old and a 5-month-old, who were not present at the residence when officers arrived. The 5-month-old child was turned over to an acquaintance in Wisconsin by a person of interest identified as 37-year-old Alexander Grunke.
Tragically, the 13-year-old child was found dead of unknown causes in Grunke’s vehicle, which led to a standoff with authorities from the Dane County Sheriff’s Office. The standoff ended with Grunke being found dead inside a home in Albion, Wisconsin.
The Dane County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the deaths of the man and woman involved in the standoff in Albion, Wisconsin. However, it remains unclear if these suspects are connected to the ongoing “foul play” investigation in La Motte, Iowa.
In La Motte, Iowa, authorities responded to a report of an unresponsive person and discovered a woman dead as a result of foul play. The victim had two minor children who were not found at the scene.

As the investigation unfolds, officials are working to determine the connection between the incidents in Iowa and Wisconsin. The community is reeling from the tragic loss of life and the shocking events that have transpired. More information is expected to be released as authorities continue their investigations and notify the families of the victims.
