VIDEO: The man who owns a trailer that was towed from a Walworth County property where the remains of two people were found in a burn pit last week appears to be supportive of white supremacy. Matthew Neumann, 43, hasn't been formally charged in the case but remained in the Milwaukee County Jail on Monday in lieu of $250,000 bail. Authorities haven't officially connected Neumann to the burn pit where the remains were found, but a trailer belonging to his Franklin cleaning business was on the rural property when officials descended upon it last week. A search of Neumann's social media accounts turned up a public image of a Nazi SS symbol, described by the Anti-Defamation League as a symbol of white supremacy. His Facebook page also includes an image of a Confederate flag.
