32-year-old Michael Henderson of Waterloo has been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Heather Stewart in Watertown.
Henderson faces one count of first degree intentional homicide in the case.
A criminal complaint against Henderson says on Thursday, May 29th, the Dodge County Sheriff’s Department received a missing persons report for Stewart after she failed to show up for her normal shift of employment at Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc.
The complaint says Stewart apparently contacted the hospital to let them know she would be 10 minutes late to work for her normal 11:00 p.m. shift.
Stewart never arrived at work, and was reported missing the next morning.
Around 9:00 a.m. on Friday, May 30th, Stewart’s vehicle was discovered in the old Pick ‘n Save parking lot on S. Church Street in Watertown.
Stewart was found seated in the vehicle — and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The complaint says the keys were in the vehicle’s ignition, the vehicle was in “drive” and a cell phone was discovered at Stewart’s feet.
A K-9 officer was dispatched to the scene — and that K-9 alerted to a baseball cap found in a pile of debris a few feet away from Stewart’s vehicle, according to the complaint.
An autopsy was performed on Stewart’s body on Saturday, May 31st. It was determined she died of a gunshot wound to the head — and the manner of death was ruled a homicide.
Henderson was interviewed by police on May 30th.
He is the father of Stewart’s two-year-old child.
The complaint says Henderson told officials on May 28th, he received a phone call from Stewart — asking him to meet her and provide her with some cash.
The complaint says Henderson told officials he did not meet with Stewart at any time on May 28th.
Henderson initially consented to a search of his cell phone — but quickly requested the return of his phone — according to the complaint.
The complaint says officials looked at the cell phone found inside Stewart’s vehicle.
There were several calls and text messages on May 28th, with a person labeled as “Mike” — with the same phone number attributed to Henderson.
The text messages talked about scheduling a meeting between the two for later that night around 10:00 p.m. One text message, sent two Stewart around 9:20 p.m. from “Mike” said he was in the area of the Bank of Lake Mills — which is located across the street from where Stewart’s body was found, according to the complaint.
The complaint says between 9:20 and 10:20 p.m., Stewart sent several text messages to “Mike” — saying she could not find a fishing hole behind the Shopko store — located across the parking lot from where Stewart’s body was found.
The complaint says Stewart texted “Mike” around 10:20 p.m. — saying she didn’t have time to wait for him.
An incoming call from “Mike” came in around 10:22 p.m., and lasted for nearly four minutes.
The complaint says Stewart made one final call around 10:26 p.m. – calling her employer to inform them she would be late to work.
Stewart’s phone went silent after that.
On June 1st, police met with Henderson at his home in Waterloo.
The complaint says Henderson continued to deny being with Stewart on the night of May 28th. Henderson told officials he received a call from Stewart, asking that they meet, but he refused.
The complaint says Henderson told officials he was home all night on May 28th with his girlfriend.
On June 5th, police received Henderson’s cell phone records.
The records showed calls placed at 10:08 p.m. and 10:22 p.m. in a limited area of Watertown — the same area where Stewart’s body was found.
Henderson’s phone also showed the same exchanges of phone calls and text messages as located on Stewart’s phone.
On June 10th, police spoke with Henderson’s live-in girlfriend.
She told police on the night of May 28th, she went to bed, and Henderson didn’t come with her.
The complaint says the girlfriend told officials she saw Henderson the following morning — when she says Henderson told her he had been fishing the previous night and had scraped his knee.
The complaint says Henderson’s girlfriend was able to identify the baseball hat found near where Stewart’s body was found as Henderson’s.
The complaint says Henderson’s girlfriend told officials Henderson was mad on the morning of May 29th — because he had not caught any fish and because he had fallen while fishing.
Henderson was arrested on Tuesday, June 10th for obstructing. He was advised that he would need to be fingerprinted and photographed and he would be free to go — but the complaint says Henderson refused to comply.
Henderson apparently had to be carried to the jail area for booking purposes.
The complaint says he was placed in a jail cell until he was willing to cooperate.
The complaint says while in the jail cell — Henderson apparently flooded his sink in his cell with toilet paper.
Eventually, Henderson agreed to speak with police. He initially again denied meeting with Stewart on May 28th — but when police told him his phone records placed him in Watertown on May 28th — he said he was fishing in the area.
The complaint says Henderson then told officials he would tell them what happened.
The complaint says Henderson told police he met with Stewart on May 28th as she requested. Henderson told police he gave her $20 when he saw her.
The complaint says Henderson told officials he was fishing near the Shopko store, and said Stewart parked near the Shopko lot and walked down to the riverbank. Henderson said the two were walking back and forth by the riverbank and in the parking lot for about 10 minutes.
The complaint says Henderson admitted to owning the baseball cap recovered at the scene — near Stewart’s vehicle.
He said he had recently given the hat to the two-year-old daughter the two share — but later told officials it has been awhile since he has seen the girl.
The complaint says a citizen witness and surveillance video obtained from a McDonald’s restaurant showed Henderson’s vehicle in the area where Stewart’s body was found.
