The Juneau County Sheriff’s Office says a tip from the public is behind the arrest of the man accused of killing a woman and her two daughters in New Lisbon.
Someone reported a suspicious person in the community of Elroy shortly before noon yesterday, leading to the successful capture of Virgil Thew, according to authorities. Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers have been searching for Thew since he was identified as the suspect in the murders of Elizabeth Kolba and 12 and 13-year-old girls. They were found dead on December 30th.
