Investigation of Clyman woman's disappearance transitioning to death investigation

CLYMAN, Wis. -- An investigation into the disappearance of a Clyman woman has transitioned to a death investigation, the Dodge County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday.

Last Thursday, Sheriff Dale Schmidt announced his office was searching for 37-year-old Crystal Rasch but asked that volunteers not assist in the search. A day later he announced Rasch's estranged husband, 42-year-old Zachariah Rasch, had been arrested for allegedly using her financial accounts to make unauthorized transactions.

Schmidt said Wednesday that details of the death investigation will not be released to protect the integrity of the investigation.

Online court records show Zachariah Rasch is charged with seven counts of misappropriating ID info to obtain money. During an initial appearance on June 28, his cash bond was set at $250,000. A review hearing in the case is set for July 10.
