GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A woman charged with perjury in connection with the investigation into the murder of Victoria Prokopovitz may change her plea and be convicted in the case on Aug. 6.
Kathryn Friday was dating James Prokopovitz when his wife, Victoria, disappeared in 2013. He was charged with her murder in May 2019, even though Victoria’s body has never been found.
During the investigation, a secret John Doe hearing was held. Friday allegedly lied about the case during her testimony on May 8, 2019. She faces two perjury counts, and previously pleaded not guilty.
A plea hearing was scheduled for Monday but it was postponed to at the request of defense attorney Harold Wolfgram. Negotiations with the district attorney’s office continue, he said.
The hearing was conducted by video conference due to court rules limiting in-person appearances.
James Prokopovitz was the last person to see his wife on April 25th, 2013. Investigators say Victoria was reported missing, but her purse, cell phone and ID were all at her home in Pittsfield. He is scheduled to stand trial Oct. 12.
