Department. Allegedly the fiancé was with her from the time Dahl left the hotel and the time Dahl had received the phone call from him. According to reports that were found regarding the male that was allegedly with Kocurek, he reportedly has a record that allegedly includes theft, prison time, violence, potential sexual assault, and terroristic threats. Dahl did state that Kocurek helped get the male out of prison just a few months ago.

The Journal spoke to Hastings Police Chief Bryan Schafer Tuesday morning. The death is being investigated as a suspicious death. The main delay in processing information for this case is waiting for the official cause of death from the Ramsey County Coroner. Because the case is still an active investigation, no further official details can be released, including names of any suspects or potential cause of death. A side effect of the investigation being active, Kocurek’s body cannot be released to the family for funeral arrangements.

Kocurek’s friends and family want justice and closure. Saturday, June 19, there is a vigil planned at the Coratel Inn at 7 p.m. and recently, they held a benefit to help raise funds for the funeral as soon as they are able to have it.
