GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The Brown County Sheriff’s Dept. will send deputies to Arkansas to retrieve murder suspect Richard Sotka, but a timeline for his return has not been finalized.
Sotka admitting to authorities he killed Rhonda Cegeski and Paula O’Connor Jan. 29 at a home on Green Bay’s east side before fleeing south. He was arrested later that afternoon in Mississippi County, Arkansas.
Sotka waived extradition to Wisconsin on Friday, clearing the way for his return to Brown County.
As of Monday, the sheriff’s department is still working on out the logistics, and does not have a specific timeframe for the transport, according to Capt. Jody Lemmens.
Mississippi County jail records show Sotka is still a resident there as of Monday.
Sotka faces two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, criminal damage to property, and four counts of bail jumping.
