8-6-13 former suspect in berit beck homicide arrested in West Bend

A suspect in the slaying of a Sturdevant teenager in Fond du Lac County more than two decades ago has been arrested for attacking his ex-girlfriend with a knife in a West Bend Walmart parking lot.  According to West Bend police the 45 year old woman was cut multiple times when 50 year old Craig Hron of West Bend attacked her with a knife.  Police say Hron had parked his car in another lot and was waiting by the victim’s car for her to leave Walmart.  The victim was able to fend off Hron and with the help of a co-worker and several other bystanders Hron was held until police arrived.  The victim had filed a temporary restraining order against Hron last Friday.  Hron was considered a prime suspect in the disappearance and murder of Berit Beck in Fond du Lac in July of 1990.  Police believe Beck was abducted from the Forest Mall parking lot after leaving the Walgreens Pharmacy.  Her body was found about a month later in a roadside ditch near Waupun.
