Rachel Schooley moved to the complex, made up of five buildings, eight months ago. She said there haven't been any incidents at the apartments since she moved in, and that she enjoys the community.

"I'm just in shock. I mean, I have friends calling me, checking on me right now, even from Arizona, they're texting me, and I'm fine. I'm okay. It's just—it's sad. It's just very shocking. It's close to home, too close."

It's not the first death investigation near that area. Back in 2021, the remains of Kenneth Thoma were discovered in the wooded area behind Tan Oak Apartments.

Police say an autopsy found he had been shot in the head and died.

Schooley told TMJ4 her heart goes out to the victim.

"It's heartbreaking. I wish there's something I can do to help," said Schooley.

The Twin Lakes Police Department is investigating with assistance from the Kenosha County Sheriff's Office.
