The New Lisbon triple-homicide suspect is being held on five-million-dollars bond.
Virgil Thew made his first appearance in Juneau County Court on Friday, a day after he was arrested in connection with the December 30th shooting deaths of his 33-year-old girlfriend Elizabeth Kolba and her 12-year-old and 13-year-old daughters. The 47-year-old Thew was found in Elroy on Thursday, following a more than week-long search. Elroy is located about 12 miles southeast of Thew’s mother’s home in New Lisbon, where the bodies were found. Thew is facing multiple charges, including three counts each of first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse.
He’s scheduled to be back in court on February 13th.
