BARRON, Wisconsin — A man reported as missing in Barron, Wisconsin has been found dead in a remote Minnesota cabin, and three people are jailed pending charges connected with the case.
Barron Police say the family of 36-year-old Christopher Etchison notified them April 19 that he was missing and unaccounted for. Investigators developed leads that led to a search warrant that was served on Etchison's apartment, and the three suspects were interviewed and taken into custody on pending charges of identity theft and obstruction.
The case took a turn on Tuesday, April 23 when Barron Police were notified that Etchison's body was located in a remote cabin near Sandstone in east central Minnesota.
At this point investigators aren't commenting on how Etchison died. More details will become available once criminal charges are filed.
