OMAHA, NE – (Wisconsin Radio Network) – Trial has started in eastern Nebraska for a 27-year-old man accused of killing a Ho-Chunk Nation woman from Wisconsin. Federal prosecutors say Jonathan D. Rooney killed the victim, then tried to dispose of her body by burning it. The remains of 22-year-old Kozee Decorah were found May 17th of last year, about four hours after she had called 9-1-1 to report the S-U-V she owned with Rooney had gotten stuck on a muddy road in a remote region of the Winnebago Indian Reservation. Decorah was from Wittenberg. Her friends and family say she was a victim of domestic violence. Rooney is facing charges of second-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
