Gladwin man arrested in stabbing death of girl, 10 by Ron Przystas Record Editor A Gladwin man has been arrested and charged with the
stabbing death of a 10-year-old Gladwin girl Friday afternoon near the Wiggins
Lake public access site in Sage Township. Gerald Arthur Roush, 49, was arraigned
Sunday afternoon in 80th District Court on felony charges of open murder in
connection with the slaying of Ronee Lynn Love, 10, of Wiggins Lake. Roush is
being held in jail without bond and his preliminary examination will be set for
11 a.m. July 3, said District Court Judge Gary Allen. If convicted of first
degree murder, Roush faces life in prison without parole. Gladwin Sheriffs officers said Love's body was
discovered alonga path near the Wiggins Lake dam late Friday afternoon by her
aunt, Sue Bratcher. The child was last seen playing at the Wiggins Lake public
access site nearby. "The girl was in the area talking and visiting with
people and fishermen along the dam Friday afternoon," said Sheriff Terry
Walters. The sheriff noted that earlier in the day, Ronee had
been playing with friends at the public access site to the lake, a popular area
for fishing, swimming and children's play. However, Ronee was alone at the time
she was abducted. Authorities were called at 4:55 p.m. Friday when
some children in the area heard screams. Several witnesses told police they saw
a man with Love shortly before the incident occurred. Walters said Roush was
identified because of a bright yellow t-shirt he wore. The youngsters who heard the screams notified
Ronee's aunt, and she went looking for her. The body was found, fully clothed,
and covered with ferns and sticks along a trail about 60 yards northeast of the
dam. Ronee Love and her mother, Kathleen Love, were
living with the child's grandmother in a mobile home on Pebble Beach Dr., not far from the access
site, according to neighbors. They had moved to the Gladwin area in May after
Ronee's father died of a heart attack in Colorado in April. During his arraignment Sunday, Roush sat calm and
subdued. He was quiet during the 20-minute proceedings, only speaking in response to Judge
Allen's questions. Roush told Allen he had never been in court on a criminal
matter before and he has lived in the city of Gladwin with his parents since November.
Before moving to Gladwin, Roush said he lived in the Beaverton area near the Gladwin County line. Allen ruled that because of the seriousness of the
offense, no bond would be set until the preliminary examination hearing. Roush
asked about the possibility of bail being allowed in the future. "I'd like
to be able to go home, your honor, to see my mother," Roush said.
"She's been sick lately and has a heart condition." Allen told Roush
he could have a bond hearing once he has a lawyer. Roush indicated his father
was attempting to hire a Gladwin attorney. However, a court appointed attorney, Michael Greer
of Gladwin, was assigned Monday to represent Roush in the case. As he was led
from the jail to the courthouse Sunday, Roush smiled as photographers took his picture. Sheriffs officers
said the girl died of multiple stab wounds. Police refused to identify what type
of knife was used in the murder. They added the autopsy and lab reports showed no signs of sexual assault. Authorities
utilized statements from witnesses, evidence at the scene and an extensive
investi- Continued to Page 5. Gladwin County Record dated 6-28/1989 Column 3
Page 1. Gladwin man arrested Continued from Page 1 gation to build their case against, Roush.
"Through our investigation and from the bits and pieces we got from
people, we were able to pieced some things together," Walters said.
"We had excellent.; cooperation between the departments." Assisting deputies with their investigation were the
Gladwin and West Branch State Police, Sheriffs , Posse and the Billings
Township Rescue Squad. Also, the
sheriffs department tracking dog and mobile command unit were both used at the
scene. Evidence was analyzed by the State Police Crime Laboratory
in Bridgeport and forensics studies were performed at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. Authorities questioned Roush Friday evening and took
him to the Bay City State Police post Saturday, where he underwent a polygraph test.
Roush was arrested at his home in Gladwin at 2 a.m. Sunday. Walters said Roush
was not acquainted with the victim or her mother. "Our investigation reveals he acted alone and
she was alone at the time of the incident," the sheriff added. "We're
still gathering information and interviewing people who may have seen or heard something."
Walters noted he feels his department "has an airtight case now, but we're
still looking for more information." For many Gladwin residents, the news of the stabbing
death of the youngster brought back vivid memories when authorities found the body of a
Brighton area youth in Grim Township in September 1985. Shawn Moore, 13, was
kidnapped near his home and killed in the Tittabawassee River State Forest by
Ronald Bailey, 26; of Livonia. For other residents, the murder gave them an uneasy
fear similar to that found in large crime stricken metropolitan areas. "It's
such a shame something like this had to happen," said Diane Conley, who lives in the area where the incident
occurred. "This proves these kinds of things can happen in small
communities like Gladwin." Early McDaniels, president of the Wiggins Lake
Property Owners Association, said residents surrounding the Wiggins Lake community
have still not recovered from what happened Friday. He said there will be a
meeting Saturday at the Sage Township Hall ; at 9:30 to gather donations to
help the family and offer support. "You think about this happening with people
from out of this area and we always think it happens around you," Walters said. "But it knocks
you off your feet and devastates you when it happens with local residents. It's
unfortunate when there is any death, but it's especially tough when a small
child is involved. Ronee's obituary appears on page 2. Gladwin County Record

Two County Men in Lake Tragedy Joseph Witer, 48, owner and operator of Joes
General Store on M-30 in Tobacco Township, and Francis Antcliff, 30, of 645 Badger Road, lost
their lives last Wednesday while on a fishing trip in Canada. The other men,
John Uhl, Jr. of 1100 Dale Road near Beaverton and Lester Earner, of Midland, survived
the accident. The party had arrived at Big Clear Lake, 79 miles northeast of
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Tuesday evening for a few days of trout fishing. Relatives of the victims said Provincial Police were
unable to determine the cause of the. accident. The survivors, reported that the
water was not rough and the boat and motor were apparently operating without
troublie. They were changing their fishing location when water suddenly poured
over the1 bow of the aluminum square end boat. The craft turned over and
floated, they said. JOE WITER None of the quartet climbed on the boat to conserve
the air pocketed in it and they hoped to drift and work their way to land. After they had
been in the water some time, the wind shifted directions and halted their
progress. The bitter cold water, gauged at 42 degrees a short distance from
shore their next day, took its toll and Antcliff died from exposure. The others
were unable to hold on his body and he slipped beneath the
surface. Joseph Witer Joseph H. Witer of Tobacco Township, was born in
Cleveland, Ohio on Nov. 21, 1912, and came to Gladwin County 37 years ago. He and the
former Donna Swinson were married on January 7, 1945, in Bay City. Surviving is
his widow, Donna; two daughters, Barbara and Patricia, and three sons, Joseph, James and
Michael, at home; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Witer, of Billings Township; two brothers,
John, of Bay City, and Stanley, of Beaverton; and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Harvath, of Mt.
Pleasant, and Mrs. Bernard Fleming, of Bad Axe. Funeral services will be held Thursday at 10 a.m. at
Sacred Heart Church with Rev. Fr. George Artman officiating. Burial will be in Sacred
Heart Cemetery. Rosary will be read Wednesday evening at 9 p. m. at the Hall Funeral
Home. Uhl said he would attempt to swim to shore and look for something to aid the
other two men. Near exhaustion, he reached land but discovered it was an island. Bamer tried
next to swim to safety, but halfway he faltered. Uhl, in spite of his cramped muscles plunged
into the lake again and helped Barner to land. The survivors said that Witer, after being in the
water for about an hour and a half lost his hold on the boat and sunk below the surface of the
water. Antcliffs body was recovered Friday and Witers Monday afternoon. Big
Clear Lake is in a remote area in the brush country, 35 miles north of
Thessalon. The tragedy occurred four and a half miles from their camp and there
were no other boats near when it happened. They were trout fishing about a
quarter of a mile off-shore when the craft filled with water. Gladwin County
