KENOSHA, Wis. - Two members of the U.S. Navy face charges after a woman called the 911 emergency number with a chilling message.
"A woman came to my house and she stabbed me in the back," 31-year-old Rachel Wolf told the dispatcher. Then she gave the woman's license plate number.
Wolf's husband, Eric Wolf, 31, and Kristen Warnakulasuriya, 26, both of Alexandria, Va., now are accused in Kenosha County Circuit Court of a murder plot.
Warnakulasuriya, arrested later Sunday at the Pleasant Prairie home of her mother, was charged Monday with attempted first-degree intentional homicide and aggravated battery. She was held on a $500,000 cash bond.
Eric Wolf was being held in Virginia on $500,000 cash bond pending extradition to Wisconsin.
Police Lt. Tom Vieth said Eric Wolf is a member of the Navy's ceremonial detail. Defense lawyer Charles Bennett said Warnakulasuriya is a Naval reservist.
According to the criminal complaint, Eric Wolf incited Warnakulasuriya, his live-in girlfriend, to kill his wife.
Vieth said Eric Wolf denied that allegation during an interview Sunday with Virginia authorities.
However, the complaint quotes Warnakulasuriya as claiming Wolf suggested ways to kill his wife, telling her, "You could shoot her. You could stab her. You could run her over."
Warnakulasuriya said she discovered that Wolf was married after moving in with him in Virginia. The pair lived in Alexandria, about 10 miles south of Washington, D.C.
Wolf apparently began talking about his marriage after Warnakulasuriya found pictures of his wife and children, ages 2 and 5.
About a month ago, the complaint said, Warnakulasuriya decided to visit her family this weekend in the Kenosha area.
"When she picked this weekend, defendant Wolf stated that she may as well get rid of his wife then," the complaint said. When Warnakulasuriya asked Wolf what he meant, he said, "kill her," according to the complaint.
The complaint said Warnakulasuriya took a small knife from her mother's kitchen and drove her mother's car to the Wolf home, where she introduced herself as a representative from the U.S. Navy's Family and Support Center and went inside to discuss Wolf's financial problems.
After the stabbing, Rachel Wolf went to a neighbor's house to call police. The children were not harmed.
Vieth said investigators used the license plate number to track Warnakulasuriya to her mother's home.
The victim suffered a collapsed lung. Her exact condition was unknown Monday night, but police said she was able to speak to them.

Would "bizarre" be too much of an understatement. Of course, it doesn't match the story of the soldier in Germany who cut off his pregnant wife's lover's head, while he chatted with the adulterous woman on a pay phone, then the scorned husband delivered his rival's head in a backpack and dumped it on his wife's hospital tray, while she was in the hospital due to complications from the pregnancy. No sireee, Bob.
What a disturbing story. When did this horror occur?
Around 1993, in Germany. I read it in "You're-a-peon Stars and Stripes," while I was stationed in Crete.
Wow. That is truly disturbing. The depth of evil some people are capable of is alarming.
The stabbing happened Sunday around Noon(central)
Thanks, but I was actually talking about the terrible story in post 2.
Did you see that one?
