A 39-year-old Wisconsin woman with a lengthy rap sheet is now accused of first-degree intentional homicide after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend in the chest at an apartment in Appleton and tried to convince friends to “just tell the police he stabbed himself” two months ago.
Samantha Jean Krebs was reportedly hit with a $1 million bond Monday as she faces charges in Outagamie County over the July 18 stabbing of J.J.C., a man that court documents described as her fiancé. The criminal complaint obtained by Law&Crime detailed that witnesses J.R.P. and C.L.C., a boyfriend and girlfriend, thought that they were going over to Krebs’ place that night to hang out, “shoot the s—, and play some games,” but instead they walked in to find J.J.C. bleeding out in the kitchen and Krebs standing over him — to their shock.
“Holy f—,” the male witness said upon seeing the victim, just moments after walking in the door and saying hello, the complaint said.
Next, the witness and his girlfriend said, Krebs “looked me dead in the eye and she said just tell the cops J.J.C. stabbed himself” because she couldn’t go back to prison and then left the scene, court documents added.
