From the Wisconsin State Journal (madison.com):
Mark Genna, 32
Killed: He was bludgeoned in his South Park Street apartment Feb. 1, 1992.
The case: Genna, who was disabled, was found with a badly fractured skull and died later at St. Mary’s Hospital. An autopsy found that someone struck him eight to 10 times in the head with a heavy object. His injuries were so extensive that police initially thought he had been shot in the head. Police at the time said they didn’t know why Genna was targeted.
In 2013, police said they were re-evaluating the story of the man who found Genna’s body and took a DNA sample from him. The man had told police he had seen Genna through a window lying on the floor and came in through an unlocked window to reach him. A blood spatter expert called into question that account.
Genna’s apartment building, at 2305 S. Park St., was in the town of Madison at that time but is now in the city of Madison. It’s one of two cold case homicides town police would like to solve; the other is Andrew Nehmer’s slaying.
