Neena Pacholke has sadly passed away.

The popular Wake Up Wisconsin at News 9 anchor took her own life at the age of 27, TMZ reported.

The news comes after ex Kyle Haase reportedly called off their wedding.

He [Kyle] told me he hates me and will feel like a million bucks once I am out of his life, she reportedly wrote.

I love you Kyle. I always have and always will. Despite how much you ruined me, I always had hope. Im so sorry to do this to you but I cant handle any of this pain anymore, she allegedly wrote to her ex.

According to the police report, police were called by Kyle to do a welfare check because of Neenas concerning texts.

Police arrived, and heard a noise and the sound of something falling. Once they had entered, Neena had reportedly already shot herself in the head with a handgun. They found a receipt showing she bought the weapon 90 minutes before killing herself.

America's gun control

Maybe we put even a one day waiting period for death machine purchases. Just, maybe.

Scary and sad indeed

Weird to mention the ex by name in a story like this.

Also a good example of why "cooling off" periods are important before letting someone buy a gun.

yep

Rip

Article doesn't say why the ex broke up with her. But he didn't have to say he hated her. She might have still lived if he had chosen better words

Yep. The inconvenience of having to wait could be enough for a suicidal person to have second thoughts.

Sad she took her life like that.

This is so unbelievably sad.

I feel that I recently heard another story of a news anchor killing herself, maybe he confused though

Prime example of why we need waiting periods even if it's just a couple days.

RIP

Yea
I remember making a topic like this a few months ago. It was a different female news anchor. But similar events

Might have? She would have. "She always had hope." He could have been nicer to her and broken up in a better way.

Her death isn't completely his fault. But to deny that he had anything to do with it is laughable. Not saying you are, but he obviously contributed heavily to this.

People. Don't ever say this bullshit to someone.

Also, though it is weird that they name dropped him, I'm kinda glad they did.

She must have been going through other things.

You're not going to be flagged in NICS for a suicide attempt you haven't attempted yet.

What was their relationship like? Why were they close enough to going to married but then the dude calls it off saying he hates her?

Perhaps not, but some time, ANY amount of time to wait before the purchase is final gives suicidal people some chance to reconsider.

Wisconsin used to have a 48 hour waiting period until it was removed in 2015. It had been originally passed in the 70s.

Guess which party removed it?

You're going to make an abuse victim or burgled homeowner wait a couple days?

Yes.

You really think anyone should be able to buy a gun as easily as they buy groceries?

Yikes

The end all solution to those problems ain't a gun, man.

How about if she was abusive to him? While it is sad that she took her life we have no idea what was going on, in their relationship.

So quick to turn the man into the victim here. I'm sensing a pattern with you

I dunno about anyone else but I certainly wouldn't bother calling in a welfare check to someone that I supposedly "hated"

Definitely feel like there are some missing details here, but we probably won't ever get them now.

So allegedly I'm hearing stuff that the ex fiancee was a serial cheater. Dunno if thats true but man what a dickhead to say shit like that to someone. I had an ex that cheated on me and threw shade at me and I took the high road and didn't say shit back.

The Daily Mail(you know, the source for the quote everyone is assuming is completely true) was so quick to paint the man as an evil piece of shit who is 100% responsible for everything that happened. I'm sensing a pattern with them.

Stop.

Article didn't say there was proof he actually said what SHE wrote. Some people kill themselves over what's going on in THEIR own head; not always what actually happened. The fianc called off the wedding. And there's plenty of valid reasons for either party to do that...

Any forensics experts will also tell you to take suicide notes of the diseased with a grain of salt. Some are deliberately written to bash former lovers either out of incriminating spite or an ironic cry of pain over separation (which can have zero to do with anything the lover actually did). Without the missing details, this woman could have just likely committed suicide just because the fianc called the wedding off and tanked a big moment for her, period.

I can sympathize with the woman's death, but I'm not going to immediately dump blame on the dude for her death. A suicide notice written by someone having a breakdown is not confirmation. It's a Hollywood trope.

Guys, we don't know what happened in their relationship. Let's not go down this road of assigning blame

Let's not do this. Plenty of people don't do what she did after receiving such words, and we really don't know why he said that. In the end, though, we really shouldn't make people feel guilty for someone's suicide. As someone who has gone down that road before, it was her choice to make for her reasons, and it's not our job to assign blame to someone else.

Very irresponsible to state the guys' name in the report. Whoever did this article should be ashamed.

If someone messages you that and potentially actually killed themselves yeah you'll be haunted with the fact you didn't do more.

I didn't say he was a victim,but I also didn't say he was guilty and should be blamed. I said point blank we don't know any of the story between these people so we should not assume anything. This guy could be the worse asshole in Madison. Or he could just be some dude.

...or some dude who realized he was in a bad relationship.

All we know for sure is a wedding cancelled and a woman dead. The rest is speculation and anyone participating in it should shut the fuck up.

Also no one should listen to the daily mail fwiw

This. It's so weird how so many people immediately start placing blame. Depression and suicide are tragic and any number of things can send someone over the edge. Look at how many people with loving and supportive families still end up committing suicide.

We don't even know for a fact that he actually said that.

But regardless, it's a tragic outcome.

Yeah, it is indeed. Depression is horrible.

Have you never had an emotional fight with a loved one and said shit you didnt exactly mean

this is tragic, its also not something you can assign blame for because relationships are complicated

jesus christ that's so sad. the pain would have gotten better :(

yeah that was shitty to do, but i would not be surprised to hear that was the point, to passively smear the guy
news industry KNOWS what influence text has on people's opinions, it's literally their business to know...
they coulda done it for the sake of fellow news employee or just done it for easy clicks, but they knew what they were doin no cap

like if the guy actually was a habitual cheater, thats more reason NOT to try marrying him in the first place
and ive known plenty of other women who flat out ignored a guys KNOWN cheating history because he was pretty and successful
u cant "fix" those guys into valuing commitment, they aint broken, monogamy just aint their thing
if that was the case, no surprise he would bail to avoid marriage, if u pay attention those guys practically wear a t-shirt sayin that for real

this woman needed therapy despite a prolific news career and this is what can happen when they dont get it

Im just curious if he was mean or she did something. I dont know the facts here.

The couple had met at a wedding when Haase was still married back in 2020. They likely got together shortly after Haase filed for divorce.

Haase and Pacholke's relationship over the last two years was turbulent as the two would fight heavily, combined with accusations of affairs and heavy drinking.

The couple also had a significant age gap, a 38-year-old Haase and a 27-year-old Pacholke. Friends of the deceased news anchor told the Daily Mail that Haase, who worked as a commercial sales manager at Imperial Industries, would often make remarks about his fianc's appearance, saying that he didn't want to go back home to her. Pacholke had moved into his rental home earlier this year but after a huge fight, Haase threw her out. Three days later, they reconciled. In fact, Haase was arrested for driving under the influence in 2021. Police had found that his blood alcohol was 0.164. Similarly, earlier this year in July, police were called to the Wausau Country Club where a drunk Haase was being uncooperative and belligerent about a prize he had won at a breast cancer awareness fundraiser. .

good lord, that's a lot to unpack. he's a walking red flag

Neena Pacholke, news anchor for ABC television affiliate WAOW in Wausau, Wisconsin reportedly committed suicide. She experienced a sad loss when her high school sweetheart passed away in 2016 from a rare kind of brain cancer.

Neena Pacholke had lost Jordan Harris, who was in her first serious relationship when she was only 18 years old. Neena was all set to get married in less than two months.

Shortly before the two, Neena and Jordan, were supposed to begin their freshman year. Harris, who had been diagnosed with primitive neuroectodermal tumours in 2011, passed away after different battles with the disease.

In an interview published by Moffitt Cancer Center in the year 2016, Neena talked about losing her first love. She said that she remembers sitting there with him and holding his hand the moment he took his last breath. She had said that she had told him that she would be there with him throughout the entire ordeal.

damn, poor girl.

Have you never had an emotional fight with a loved one and said shit you didnt exactly mean

Yep, but it never went as far as to say I hated someone I definitely did not hate (or that I care about the welfare of someone I definitely did hate)

this is tragic, its also not something you can assign blame for because relationships are complicated

Wasn't trying to blame anything. I just do think the story doesn't quite add up and has missing details (but as I said, we probably won't get them now)

She also said she always loved him, despite only knowing him for like 3 years. People exaggerate when they're emotional.
