A western Wisconsin man will spend the rest of his life in Florida for a murder that he hoped would fund his fight against the Venezuelan government.
A judge in Fort Myers sentenced Alex Zwiefelhofer from Bloomer, Wisconsin to life behind bars on Tuesday. A jury convicted him of killing a Florida couple during a robbery back in 2018. Prosecutors say Zwiefelhofer wanted to use the money to go to Venezuela and fight the government there. He’d recently fought in Ukraine, and had served in the US Army until he went AWOL back in 2017.
