And in the next locker over, another one, in the exact same spot. Walker's daughter said someone else's belongings were inside her locker. When Walker peered in through the vents, she saw a camera lens pointing back out. "And she said, 'Mom, my coat and shoes aren't in the locker,'" Walker said.

Until one day, when a child noticed something was wrong. When they got tired of spying on their own co-workers, Wenckebach got a job at the publicly-owned RecPlex in Pleasant Prairie. "I can't even begin to explain, considering the whole reason I was down in the gym was to get rid of that chub."

"It was so unbelievably hurtful," another victim testified. Landt labeled each video with things like "Hot Marketing Blonde," "Dopey Brunette Married Girl," and "Chubby Z." She performed this task hundreds of times over the course of three years. Once the cameras are in place, she steps away, revealing an empty locker room, where unsuspecting victims would soon walk in and disrobe, unaware they were being watched. Video evidence obtained by FOX6 News shows Wenckebach setting the cameras up, her face staring into the camera lens as she arranges the proper angle, hoping to capture the best view of the locker room. "You would still be able to view the locker room and she would just leave the locker room door open." It was usually in a make-up bag or a mesh bag," said Pleasant Praire Police Detective Laura Hoffman. Police say Landt supplied video cameras to Wenckebach, who then took them into the women's locker room at Uline and set them up. "You know you shouldn't have, but you can't stop." "It's like you start something and you shouldn't have," Wenckebach told police. Wenckebach was not the first person Landt approached - or even the first one to agree - but she was by far the most persistent. "This defendant is a sexual predator," Prosecutor Michael Gravely said at his sentencing. The prosecutor called Landt a sociopath who spent years grooming women to secretly record others in order to satisfy his perversions. They worked together at Uline in Pleasant Prairie, a shipping supply company so large it has its own fitness center. Landt had a sexual relationship with Wenckebach. "He's really smart," she said, her voice almost whining, her eyes red and puffy. Nervously rocking, and at times sobbing, Wenckebach told police about how Karl Landt persuaded her to do it. "Normal people don't want these things, right?" Melissa Wenckebach asked rhetorically, in a videotaped police interview obtained by FOX6 News. The woman who put the cameras there told police the reason she did it is complicated. "I was videotaped in my locker room getting dressed after swim practice," the child recently said while testifying at the Capitol in Madison. The man and woman behind the plot are now in prison. But it's what Walker learned during the investigation that prompted her to come forward and tell her story in case the same thing ever happens to your family.įor Walker, the nightmare started two years ago when her 10-year-old daughter was recorded, fully nude, by a pair of hidden video cameras. It's been nearly two years since Christina Walker and her little girl uncovered what turned out to be a massive spy cam operation in Pleasant Prairie. She's sharing her story for the first time. She and her then 10-year-old daughter found hidden cameras in a public locker room after swim practice. PLEASANT PRAIRIE - A local mom is on a mission to change state law.
