The retrial for an over the road trucker charged in the murder of a Sturdevant teenager in Fond du Lac County is scheduled to start in February. Dennis Brantner is charged in the 1990 murder of Berit Beck. A mistrial was declared in June of 2016 after the jury told the judge it was deadlocked. A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for January 19 and a motion hearing is scheduled for February 2. The four week trial is scheduled to begin February 12. Brantner was arrested after the state crime lab matched his fingerprints to prints found in Beck’s van.
