A person reported missing from the Aldi’s store in Sheboygan on Saturday was identified as one of two victims killed in a head-on crash later in the day.
86-year-old Dorothy Friede, who was known to have Alzheimer’s and was suspected of being confused, reportedly drove away from the Aldi’s at around 5 p.m. on Saturday, and was reported missing. The Sheboygan Police Department sent out a NIXLE alert in an effort to recruit help from the public in finding her.
Then at around 8:40 p.m. Saturday, reports were received of a head-on crash on Highway 57 near County Highway “MM” in the Town of Rhine. Deputies say a car heading north veered into the southbound lanes, hitting the southbound car head-on. One person in each vehicle was dead when emergency crews arrived.
At about 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office identified the two victims as Dorothy L. Friede of Adell, and Betty Mae Seibel of St. Cloud. No implicit connection between events was made by the Sheriff’s Office in Tuesday’s release.
The accident remains under investigation by the Wisconsin State Patrol.
