NEW LISBON, Wis. – FBI agents and U.S. marshals have joined the search for a New Lisbon man accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend and two young teen-age girls. New Lisbon Police Chief Kyle Walker confirmed the expanded manhunt. The bodies were found December 30, the day the shootings occurred. Two days later, Walker said, a car belonging to the suspect Virgil Thew, was found abandoned a mile northwest of town. Chief Walker, who has been guarded in releasing information about the case, didn’t explain why he delayed five days to report that the vehicle had been found. The vehicle was near Orange Road and McEwen Road — not far from Interstate 90. Details have been surfacing from other sources about the victim.  Thew’s girlfriend was Elizabeth Kolba, age 33. The girls were friends. One was Skyla Ane Chevelle Sorenson, 13, who attended Meadow View Middle School in Sparta. The other was Alexandria J. Taylor, 12, who attended the New Lisbon Junior Senior High School.
