WHITE HOUSE (WKOW) -- Two Oak Creek officers will be honored this morning with the highest national award given to law enforcement, the medal of valor.

It's presented to individuals exhibiting exceptional courage -- regardless of personal safety. The White House the deadly Sikh Temple of Wisconsin shooting more than 2 and half years ago, exemplifies that statement.

Richard Togstad remembers waving to his sister, Tanna Togstad, as she was driving her pickup truck to work on a rural Weyauwega road on a mid-March morning in 1992.

A few days later, 23-year-old Tanna Togstad was dead. She was stabbed, along with her boyfriend, Timothy Mumbrue, in her farmhouse on Butternut Ridge Road, roughly 11/2 miles from his home.

"She just bought a new truck," Richard Togstad recalled of the chance meeting on their way to work. "I remember it like it was yesterday."

Some people post everything on Facebook, including their suicide plans. That move may have saved John F. McCormack's life, but also left him facing a rare, if not unprecedented, charge in Wisconsin of assisting a suicide.

McCormack's post last month, and a call to his sister, led police to the Clarion Hotel near Mitchell International Airport, according to medical examiner's records.

Inside room 380, they found McCormack, 53, on the floor, unresponsive and struggling to breathe. In the bed next to him lay Marlowe Marie Chapman, 29, already deceased.

The Buffalo County Sheriff's Department is investigating the death of a man who's body was found in the Mississippi River.

The 62-year-old man was found shortly after 10:30 a.m. Monday, in the Mississippi River in the Alma area. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The name of the person is being withheld pending family notification.
