APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – The man arrested in connection with the murders of an Oneida couple had his bond set at $1 million in court Monday.
19-year-old Vance Reed of Oneida is charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of 77-year-old Harry Brown Bear and 67-year-old Lorraine Brown Bear.
Prosecutors say that Reed was drinking with the Brown Bear’s the day of the murder and got into an argument with the couple.
According to the criminal complaint, Reed said he was very drunk and blacked out that night. However, he admitted to remembering slashing Harry Brown Bear’s throat, then stabbing and also killing Lorraine.
Officials say that a DNA sample from Reed matched a sample found at the crime scene. Prosecutors added that a gun stolen from the Brown Bear’s home was found inside Reed’s home.
