12/31/12 - It has been one year to the day since 47-year-old Ronald Hauser was found shot to death at his home in Iosco Township, and the investigation continues even after the sentencing of a man identified as a person of interest. The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department previously named 23-year old Anthony Sean Duke as a person of interest in Hauserâs murder. As a convicted felon, Duke was not allowed to possess any firearms. However, he was discovered in possession of weapons on March 30th during the course of the investigation. He was sentenced in early December to nine months in jail with no credit for time served after pleading guilty to a single count of possession of a weapon by a felon in March of 2011. Meanwhile, authorities continue to search for Hauserâs killer. Sheriff Bob Bezotte would not release many current details of the ongoing investigation, but he tells WHMI that they believe someone in the community knows more about the case. That person is encouraged to come forward and assist investigators find the killer. Hauser owned a tree-trimming service and police have speculated that whoever did kill him probably knew that he often carried large amounts of cash on his person and in his home. (TD)
