MANITOWOC -
An Ashwaubenon man has been charged with his wife's murder. Forty-year-old Ambrose Greaves was in court this afternoon. Police say they have evidence he killed his 50-year-old wife Miki Greaves more than a week ago.
Court documents reveal new details about the case, including what happened the day before the body was found.
Ambrose Greaves spent a few minutes in Manitowoc County Court Monday afternoon, where he was formally charged with first degree intentional homicide in the death of his wife, Miki Greaves.
Court records paint a picture of what happened between the couple about ten days ago. According to Greaves' criminal complaint, his wife Miki worked at Associated Bank in Ashwaubenon, where she showed up for work on Friday, November 20th. She told a co-worker she had been arguing with her husband, and mid-morning left for a counseling appointment with her husband. A co-worker says she returned upset and crying. Surveillance video suggests Ambrose picked Miki up from work at two that afternoon.
At 4:00 p.m., Ambrose Greaves showed up at the I-43 One Stop in Maribel, where he bought some vehicle supplies, and clerk Cody Kittell noticed one of the bottles Greaves was purchasing, had blood on it.
Kittell says he noticed Greaves was talking to himself, and asked him if he was ok.
"He kind of stumbled back like he was gonna just drop over, pass out and i'm like, 'Are you alright? You need to go to the doctor or something?'" said Kittell. "He grabs his bottles and he took two steps back and he's like, 'I got stabbed' and he opened his jacket and he showed me. There was gauze here and he had a white shirt on and just blood everywhere. I freaked out I was like, 'Are you ok?'"
Kittel says he asked Greaves if he needed an ambulance but he just took off out the door. Now he wonders if he could have done something more.
Just a few hours after that stop at the gas station, Greaves, by himself, was in a one-vehicle crash off of Interstate 43 in Brown County.
His wife's body was found in rural Manitowoc County the following morning, the coroner determined she died of "multiple sharp force injuries."
What the criminal complaint doesn't explain is how or exactly when Miki Greaves got there.
Greaves is being held at the Manitowoc County jail on $250,000 bond. The public defender's office is looking into whether Greaves qualifies for its services. He will be back in court on Monday, December 7.
