FOND DU LAC (NBC 26) — The death of a 68-year-old inmate who was serving a life sentence at a central Wisconsin prison for the 2006 killing of her husband is being investigated as a homicide, police said.
Guards found Cindy Schulz-Juedes unresponsive Wednesday in her cell at the Taycheedah Correctional Institution, and efforts to revive her were unsuccessful, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections said.
Fond du Lac Police were investigating the circumstances of her death and no additional details were immediately available, the state agency said.
On Nov. 11, 2022, NBC's "Dateline" aired an episode about the 2006 murder of Schulz-Juedes' husband Kenneth Juedes, and her conviction 15 years later in 2021.
Kenneth Juedes was shot twice on Aug. 29, 2006, at the couple’s home in the town of Hull. He was a pharmacist for what was then Memorial Health Care in Medford, Wisconsin.
The Fond du Lac Police Department was assisted by the Fond du Lac Fire/Rescue Department and the Fond du Lac Medical Examiner’s Office. The DOC will continue to offer support during the investigation.
