GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Bond has been set at $1 million for a Brown County man accused of killing his live-in girlfriend.
Thirty-four-year-old Douglass Detrie appeared in court Wednesday but has not been formally charged in the death of Nicole VanderHeyden. The body of the 31-year-old mother of three was found in a Bellevue field Saturday, about three miles from the couple’s home.
WLUK-TV (https://bit.ly/1Xz9Oz5 ) reports prosecutors say VanderHeyden had been strangled and beaten. Brown County District Attorney David Lasee says he’s waiting for evidence test results before filing a formal complaint against Detrie.
Defense attorney Rick Meier says probable cause has not been established for a first-degree homicide charge.
