A plea hearing is scheduled later this month for a woman charged with hiding her mother’s body.
Paula Bergold was in Marinette County court yesterday. The hearing is set for July 28th. Prosecutors say the 61-year-old woman hid her mother’s body in a tub in the basement so she could continue to collect the older woman’s social security checks, stocks and dividends from her father’s retirement.
The body of the 89-year-old woman was found in her town of Peshtigo home last September. Bergold had pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. She was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.
