What they're saying:
Neighbors said the family has a son who attended Cedarburg High School, later went to the University of Wisconsin and then served in the military. One neighbor described him as intelligent and always polite.
"It's always like 'it can't be.' It's always, for any human being that sees a person that they've passed by and are cordial with, see that perhaps they did something awful, that's a shock. How could that be that a person so good maybe 99.99999% of the time and then something happens, if it turns out that the accusations are correct," said Mark Sorensen, neighbor.
