On Tuesday, Feb. 28, New Ulm Police Department Investigator Jeff Hohensee confirmed that the investigation into allegations of improper conduct by Fr. Sam Wagner is not completed. Fr. Wagner had been placed on leave from ministry by the Diocese of New Ulm, earlier this month, when the allegations were brought to their attention.
“The investigation is still continuing,” said Hohensee. “I am currently conducting interviews of church members and other potential witnesses.” Hohensee said search warrants were granted in the case and he is awaiting the results of those warrants—digital evidence.
