Residents in a small Adams County community are wondering how and why a Friendship woman died almost two weeks ago. The Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune is reporting 52-year-old Mary Johnson was stabbed and found at her home May 29.

The facts are sketchy, but Adams County Sheriff Roberta Sindelar says her department is investigating it as a suspicious death. She wouldn't confirm that Johnson was stabbed, although the Daily Tribune says she gave them that important detail.

Sheriff Sindelar also says they hadn't received any reports of domestic violence from the home Johnson shared with her husband. With such little information, people around town are talking.

"Well, I don't live but a couple miles from here. I was a little concerned," Friendship resident Earl Nahmens, Jr. says. "It's kind of a small community. We don't get a lot of this kind of stuff, you know. Thank goodness."

But the sheriff says they don't have to be worried.

“If we knew, thought the public was in danger, we would have went and notified them, but no, they are not in danger at this time," she says.

Sheriff Sindelar says they are working with the district attorney on the case, but at this point there are no criminal charges.
