MADISON, Wis. -- The man who was sent to a state mental institution for the 1984 killing of his 16-year-old sister won't be released to a group home on Madison' East Side, according to a Madison alder.

Amid controversy about Mark Staskal's possible release from the Mendota Mental Health Institute, Madison Alder Brenda Konkel said on Thursday that she was planning to hold a community meeting about his release into the Tenney-Lapham neighborhood when she found out the news.

"I was trying to plan a neighborhood meeting, talked to the group home owner and operator, and he said it was a moot point since he wouldn't be taking Staskal after all," she said.

Konkel said that she also received word from state officials that said the provider wouldn't be taking Staskal. She said that she didn't know who made the decision that will prevent Staskal from coming to the Brighter Life Living adult family home.

It's unclear if the operator of the group home or if state officials nixed the plan for Staskal to come to the group home. Staskal will remain at the Mendota Mental Health Institute for the time being, WISC-TV reported.

A Rock County judge ruled on Tuesday that Staskal could move from the state mental hospital to an adult group home on Madison's East Side. Staskal has lived at Mendota Mental Health Institute since being found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect in the stabbing death of his younger sister, Marcy, at their parents' Milton home.

The ruling sparked questions from Staskal's parents, who have warned state and court officials that they believe their son is still a danger. Some area residents also expressed concern as the East Side home is near an elementary school. The house is located one block away from Lapham Elementary School.

Konkel said that she's disappointed with how this process unfolded.

"It may be the best decision over all, but the process by how this decision was made, and the quirks of the confidentiality law, made it hard to inform the public. We did a disservice to the provider and the person involved to get the best service possible," she said.

Konkel said that she and other city leaders met Thursday privately with state officials, and got specific details about Staskal's condition and plan, but only after pledging not to disclose details by signing a confidentially agreement.

"Because I had access to confidential information, I felt comfortable with the placement although I totally understand why the community would be very upset about the placement," she said. "And without being able to provide that information, I totally understand why people are so upset."

Staskal was released to an Eau Claire group home late last year but returned to Mendota amid public uproar about it.

Officials Release More Information About Home

State officials released more information on Thursday about the adult family home where Staskal would have gone as well as Jason Standish, the home's licensee and owner.

A review of the facility in January by state Health and Family Services officials said that a newly hired employee hadn't completed a required 15 hours of initial training.

There was also a paperwork failure -- health treatment for a resident had changed, but staff had failed to document that. No one was harmed, according to the review.

Officials said that all problems were corrected by April 1, and currently the facility is in compliance with all state rules and regulations.
