A Cedar Grove man is being accused of supplying the heroin that killed a Plymouth man in July after new evidence came in from DNA and jailhouse informants.

Daniel Wulff, 27, is charged with reckless homicide in the heroin overdose of Dustin Richart, who died in Plymouth in July.

If convicted of the charge, he could face a maximum of 25 years in a state prison.

According to the criminal complaint:

On July 28, officers were dispatched to an apartment in Plymouth where they found Richart dead. A witness said that Richart had been staying with the apartment with the witness and his girlfriend for two weeks after a stint in rehab for heroin and pills.

The witness said Wulff, who was Richart's cousin, came to get Richart some point in the afternoon on July 27th and returned some time after midnight. The two went into Richart's room for a few minutes before Wulff left. The witness saw Richart alive once more that night, but found him dead the next morning as he entered the room to collect some fishing supplies.

Plymouth police found a capped syringe with some residue at the scene, which tested positive for opiates. A tie-off with heroin was also found. An autopsy found the cause of death was "polysubstance toxicity" and that high-levels of morphine, which is a metabolite of heroin, contributed to the death.

Wulff, after being interviewed, admitted that he was a heroin user, but denied that he gave Richart heroin. Instead, he said picked up Richart at a cookout on Highway 57, then drove to Adell to change clothes and intended on going to a beach party on Lake Michigan. However, that party never happened and he brought Richart home.

Officers got a search warrant for Wulff's phone, which revealed text messages between Richart and Wulff referencing an attempt to obtain something and an exchange of money with a possible third party.

The texts then show Wulff texting another party, later identified as Tyler Rosche, telling him that he wants the money owed to him and asking if he had any money. Rosche at one point texts "if I get money you want to go" to which Wulff responds "definitely." Rosche later tells investigators that he would sometimes pool his money with Wolff to buy heroin from a dealer in Milwaukee.

The texts also showed Wulff contacting other sources saying that he was "sick" and trying to obtain something else, but without any success.

In September, investigators were contacted by an inmate at the Sheboygan County Detention Center who shared a pod with Wulff. The inmate, Velaquice Hawkins, said Wulff had asked about what sort of trouble someone could get into with a heroin overdose. Hawkins said that Wulff told him that Richart had given him money to buy heroin and that they traveled to Milwaukee to purchase $50 worth of heroin. Hawkins pointed investigators to another inmate, Andrew Zeier, who said that he also heard that Wulff arranged the sale of heroin for Dustin, but denied selling it to him.

Rosche told investigators that while he and Wulff went to Milwaukee that night, he wasn't sure if another person, such as Richart, was with them. He also said he didn't know who Wulff bought heroin from.

Further DNA tests revealed Wulff's biological material on a tie-off and cellophane wrapper that held the heroin found at the scene.
