ST. PAUL, Minn. – There’s a statewide alert in Minnesota for 58-year-old Ralph Apmann, who’s now been convicted of second-degree murder despite not having shown up for his trial.
A Cottonwood County jury reached its guilty verdict Tuesday despite Apmann not appearing in court.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Windom Police continue to search for Apmann. He’s believed to be armed with a handgun and an AR-15 rifle and doesn’t have a car, so they say he either fled on foot or got a ride, likely to the Twin Cities area. He is considered armed and dangerous and shouldn’t be approached.
