Peshtigo man questioned in girlfriend's death

PESHTIGO, WI (AP)--   Police say a man sought in connection with a death investigation in Peshtigo, Wisconsin has been taken into custody.  

Authorities were looking for Brent Kaempf, 48, of Peshtigo as a “person of interest” in the investigation.  He was taken into custody Sunday night.

The state Department of Justice says Kaempf was in a relationship with the victim at the time of her death.  She was identified Monday as Patricia Waschbisch, 45, of Peshtigo.

The Justice Department says investigators are treating her death as a homicide.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
