Death of fiancee sends LV man to prison

(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man is going to prison, sentenced to nearly 14-years for the death of his fiancee.

38-year-old Andrew Wieland learned his fate in Leavenworth County District Court, where he had, in March, plead guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated battery, and interference with law enforcement.

The crimes occurred May 30, 2019, when Leavenworth Police were called to a residence for an injured person.

First meeting what a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson calls a “frantic” Wieland on the front porch, police went inside where they “found victim Heather Wunderlich lying motionless in the middle of the living room,” partially naked with injuries to the head and face.

Despite blood stains both up and downstairs, including on himself, Wieland told police Wunderlich fell down the stairs while he was upstairs asleep in the bedroom, coming downstairs to find her hurt.

However, an investigation of the home found bloody indications of a struggle, and an autopsy showed Wunderlich had multiple injuries.
