GREEN BAY - A Green Bay man is charged with murder in the stabbing of his live-in girlfriend.
A criminal complaint filed in Brown County says 31-year-old Richard Gardipee stabbed Wendy Garcia with a kitchen knife at their home Saturday afternoon after the couple physically fought over Gardipee's use of pain killers.
Authorities say a friend of Gardipee called police after Gardipee showed up at his house with blood on his clothes and said he had hurt his girlfriend.
The complaint says Gardipee told investigators he dragged his girlfriend's body to the basement so her 4-year-old son wouldn't discover her.
Gardipee's bond was set at $500,000 cash Thursday afternoon.
He's scheduled to return to court July 18th.

EAGLE RIVER - The initiative will help to rebound what's thought of as a suffering walleye population by adding hundreds of thousands of the fish to Wisconsin lakes.
The project could improve fishing for the state's most popular game fish and tourism in the state. George Langely, a local fishing guide at Eagle Sports bait shop in Eagle River, says walleye fishing isn't what it used to be.
"The walleye population has pretty much suffered in the last twenty years and it's really nice to see Madison recognizing that and taking some steps to do something about it. It will take a while but it's a great start."
STATEWIDE - Camping in the Northwoods just got a little more high-tech, thanks to a new website and iPhone app. You can download the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest app on your iPhone.
The app lets you see what campsites are available, and reserve your spot online. It also gives information about trails and other activities in the area.
In the “old days” travelers could always call ahead about site availability, but by the time out of town visitors arrive, they might be full.
MINOCQUA - “This disease is called the great imitator for a good reason,” says Jeff Waite.
Lyme disease can be good at hiding.
“Lyme disease is a bacterial type infection spread by a spiral keet, which is also considered a parasite. And it can be carried in the spit glands and intestinal track of ticks in this area. Particularly the deer tick," said Dr. Kurt Landauer.
