NEW LISBON, Wis. — The FBI and U.S. Marshals Service are assisting in the search for a 47-year-old man accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend, stepdaughter, and another young girl.
The suspect’s girlfriend, Elizabeth Kolba, 33, and the two girls were found with gunshot wounds inside a New Lisbon home on Dec. 30, according to a criminal complaint.
