Trial Set for McKenna Wendel Case | Pierre News

A 38-year-old man, Jon Rogness, faces two federal charges tied to the death of 14-year-old McKenna Wendel — accused of conspiring to hide evidence and being an accessory after the fact. His co-defendant, Mark Milk — Wendel’s uncle — also pleaded not guilty to five serious charges including drug trafficking and child exploitation, potentially facing life in prison. Both men are set for trial on September 28th in Sioux City, where prosecutors believe a cocaine overdose led to Wendel’s death after she went missing in March. The case remains in federal court due to the alleged crimes’ location in Iowa. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
