A 50-year-old Barry County man has been arrested and charged with open murder, according to the Barry County Sheriff’s Office. On Sept. 12 at 12:07 p.m. deputies responded to 5494 Lindsey Road, Delton, on the report of a deceased individual and found the body of Karinsa Lyyn Wisniewski, 39.

 

As a result of an investigation, Douglas Allen Wortinger, 50, the victim’s boyfriend, was arrested and has been charged with open murder by the Barry County Prosecutor’s Office.  He is alleged to have killed Wisniewski at 5494 Lindsey Road, Delton. An autopsy confirmed that the woman suffered multiple physical injuries, authorities said.

 

Wisniewski and Wortinger had a physical confrontation at the Fish Lake boat landing near Guernsey Lake Road  on Sunday, Sept. 11 and the sheriff’s office believes there may have been other witnesses to the event.

 

They are asking anyone who was in the area Sunday between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. to contact Detective Jeff Nieuwenhuis at 269-948-4801.
