Search for Kelly Dwyer in landfill



MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- A search team will be back out at a Menomonee Falls landfill on Monday, October 28th -- hoping to find clues related to the disappearance of 27-year-old Kelly Dwyer.

Dwyer has been missing since October 10th. She was last seen eating at an East Side restaurant.

Authorities believe 38-year-old Kris Zocco is the last person to see Dwyer, possibly on October 11th. Zocco was charged with five drug-related crimes last weekend, but posted bail on Monday, October 21st.

Zocco was taken back into custody just days later and charged with 17 counts of child pornography.

“This defendant is a very key suspect in the missing person and probably homicide investigation so I think also poses some significant flight risk,” said Assistant D.A. Danielle Chojnacki.

Zocco has not been charged in connection to Dwyer’s disappearance.

A volunteer search crew continues to canvass Milwaukee’s east side near Lafayette Pl. and Summit Ave. where Dwyer was last seen.
