Your well-being is important and there are people who care about you and are ready to support you in difficult times.
Ninety minutes after happy-go-lucky news anchor Neena Pacholke shot herself in the head at a gun store in Wisconsin, she pulled the trigger. Just before she took the gun to kill herself, she sent a text message to a close friend that was later used as her suicide note. The text said that Pacholka’s fiance had been unfaithful to her, that he “hated” her, and that he was relieved that she had taken her own life by shooting herself with a newly acquired gun.
Seven weeks before their planned wedding day, Kyle Haase’s fiance called off the engagement, allegedly because he was having an affair with the vivacious news anchor. After a turbulent two-year courtship marked by frequent arguments and Haase’s persistent infidelity, which shattered Pacholka’s mentality, the relationship ended.
On one occasion, Pacholke reported to a trusted friend that she had discovered strange underwear after returning to the home she shared with her fiancé, Haas. Pacholke was found dead of a gunshot wound in the $390,000 home she and her fiancé had recently purchased in suburban Wausau, Wisconsin.
Pacholke told a friend just before she killed herself, and the friend immediately called 911.
Authorities arrived too late, though a trusted friend moved quickly to ask a 911 dispatcher to send police to check on the Wisconsin news anchor’s well-being.
She had committed suicide, so when they arrived at her house, they found her already dead.
Early in the morning of August 27, 2022, the police began searching for Pacholek. However, they arrived too late. Haase removed all firearms from the shared home the day before she committed suicide, fearing they would harm herself or him. But a news anchor from Wisconsin could have easily bought a new gun at a nearby gun store and killed herself in a bloodbath minutes after purchasing it.
Meanwhile, Haase traveled to Minnesota to visit relatives. When he spoke to Pacholek, she said she was “going to do something” but didn’t want to tell her ex-fiance the details of her suicide attempt.
When Haase heard Pacholke was planning to do something he wouldn’t discuss the details of, he alerted Haase, so he called the police to check on her.
At about 11:20 a.m., police arrived at the Wausau residence. They knocked on the front door and got no answer, so they went around the house to make sure no one was home. While they were outside, the officers heard a lot of noise and a crash, as if someone had fired a gun and it fell into the collection of items.
It took police 30 minutes to get to the house after the shots were fired. When officers entered the bedroom, they smelled gunpowder in the air when they finally broke down the door. They discovered Pacholke in a closet not far from her, holding a gun. There was a bullet hole in the wall where the shot left her body and hit the drywall and it was covered in blood.
In November 2020, Pacholke and Haase crossed paths at a funeral.

So tragic….
Not to take away from this tragic loss of life, but who wrote this article? There are so many sentences in the article that don’t make sense and have crazy sentence structure. Was it AI or possibly someone who has English as their 2nd or 3rd language? I’m reading more and more articles like this.
Heartbreaking that this young girl would think there was no other resolution. That being said this is one of the most difficult articles to read because of the continual errors/names repeated where not to be/numerous basic grammar errors. Don’t they have proofreaders anymoer?
