TOWN OF PIEHL, Wis. – A teenager accused of killing her mother and stepfather in northern Wisconsin is due in court.
Seventeen-year-old Ashlee Martinson has been brought back to Wisconsin from Indiana where she was arrested last month. Authorities say Martinson is scheduled for a Friday afternoon appearance in Oneida County Circuit Court.
