Woman charged in slaying of 88-year-old

MONROE (AP) – A 23-year-old woman was charged Tuesday with killing an 88-year-old woman and taking about $50,000 from her.

Mary A. Sidoff of rural Monticello was charged in Green County Circuit Court with first-degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse and theft. A $100,000 cash bond was set by Judge James Beer.

….A sheriff’s department report that accompanied the complaint said Sidoff told authorities she first met Sturzenegger in September when the elderly woman was a patient at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison and she was working as a nurse’s assistant.
