The Kristopher Torgerson case resurfaces | Full Court Press
Civil court cases for the November 2025
Once per month, The Wausonian digs through the civil court filings in Marathon County to find the most interesting cases. It’s one of those Wausonian features that you only get here. This week, a big case from about 10 years ago pops back up in the civil court filings, but there are plenty more cases to keep an eye on.
In March of 2017, Kristopher Torgerson was convicted of killing then-22-year-old Wausau resident Stephanie Low. Torgerson appealed the conviction and always maintained that he was innocent, despite leading police to the site where she was buried.
Now, Torgerson has filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Association of Homicide Detectives. In the suit, which also names Det. Jennifer Holz, Special Prosecutor Richard Dufour, Dr. Michael Stier, Medical Examiner Jessica Blahnik, National Medical Services Laboratories and Denice Teem, Torgerson claims there was a conspiracy against him.
