10 May 2025 News
The 21-year-old Fond du Lac woman suspected in the stabbing death and attempted robbery of 33-year-old Ashley Ann Calo of West Bend was convicted in Fond du Lac County Court Friday. Annaka Trudell pled no contest to first-degree reckless homicide and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. No sentencing date has been set yet. Twenty-two-year-old Dawson Miller is also facing charges stemming from Calo’s stabbing death on February 14th, 2024. He is charged with felony murder, robbery and other charges. His 5-day jury trial is set to being October 6th. Trudell’s plea deal means instead of a potential life sentence she could be sentenced to up to 60 years in prison. She also avoided a 5-day jury trial which was set to begin May 19th. According to the criminal complaint Trudell stabbed Calo with a kitchen-type knife during an argument in a fast-food parking lot. Trudell and Miller allegedly made a plan to steal drugs from Calo by pretending to want to buy pills from her. An autopsy revealed Calo had been stabbed at least twice and once through the heart and lung.
