Nicolae Miu, 52, of Prior Lake,Minnesota was arraigned in St. Croix County Circuit Court, Monday on one count of first-degree intentional homicide and four counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide...

...According to Schaeppi’s interview with the suspect’s wife, Sondra Dee Miu, she and her husband were part of a group of friends who had been tubing on the Apple River when a member of the party lost their cell phone.

Ever since Biden took over and the RATS defunded the police, a lot of suspects have become the victims and the cops are the ones being used as witnesses for the suspect “victims” although they weren’t there at the time of the incident. This sounds like a “mass stabbing” to me and the Hollowoody celebrity RATS haven’t even mentioned starting a crisis push to ban assault knives.

This is a VERY weird story, and the so-called “witnesses” seem to be straight-up lying.

What a crazy story. Reading the various accounts of the incident is headache-inducing.

I suspect heavy alcohol or drug involvement on the part of some or all of the tubers.

"I suspect heavy alcohol ..."

Yes. That river is 50% pee by the time you get to the spot in the story.

They used to keep big garbage containers painted as targets along the shore to throw your beer cans into as you float by.

This story aside, that's kind of hilarious!

One you think a guy is a pedophile, you can kill him. That’s the rule.
No thinking required.

None of the victims or bystanders were reported as armed and there is no evidence so far of them using rocks or branches to attack the assailant. Verbal and or physical provocations maybe, but nothing that would seem to remotely justify the attack as self defense. None the less it will take time to sort out the evidence and a jury will have to make a determination of guilt.

This story has a very weird twist to it. A phone is "lost"... in a RIVER!! ... and he is going to go up the river where there are lots and lots of girls in bikinis with a snorkel and GOOGLES er I mean goggles on and "LOOK" for a phone. Something really is whacked out that a guy would do that. It sure smells like the guy was up to no good.

" lots of girls in bikinis..."

I think the town put a stop to this a while back, but this party river also had a beads for boobs thing going on for some time.

It was a family spot when I was young. But then again, that long ago, most everywhere was a safe family spot.

The place is fun. I used to go as a kid and it was a family place. Took my kids and found out it had turned into the boobs for beads thing. Hard to recommend to other people when you don't know what you're going to get. It has always been a booze fest though.

On the bright side, the water was always warm.

People use goggles to find stuff in rivers and water bodies all the time.
