MENOMONIE — Four people found dead in an SUV in Dunn County in western Wisconsin are homicide victims, authorities reported.
The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office said a 911 caller alerted deputies to a black SUV with Minnesota license plates that had been abandoned in a cornfield off a rural road in the town of Sheridan.
Authorities have not disclosed why they think the four are homicide victims, who they are and where they are from.
In a Facebook post Monday, sheriff’s officials said the victims do not appear to have any connection to the area. The posting also said there may have been a second dark-colored SUV traveling with the abandoned vehicle.
No arrests have been announced.
