Man serving life sentence in Alabama also sentenced in Wisconsin – WLTZ

GREEN BAY, Wis. — GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A Michigan man already serving a life sentence for murder in Alabama has been sentenced to life in prison for the killing of a man in Wisconsin.

Caleb Anderson, 25, received his second life sentence in a Green Bay courtroom on Monday. He pleaded no contest to first-degree intentional homicide in the stabbing death of Patrick Ernst last month, according to WLUK-TV.

Authorities have said Anderson attacked an 18-year-old woman in 2022 while she was jogging in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He then drove to Wisconsin, where 65-year-old Ernst was killed in Ernst's Green Bay apartment. Authorities say Anderson then stole Ernst's car before driving to Alabama, where Dwight Dixon was killed.

Court documents show that Anderson found Ernst through a smartphone app that men use to arrange sex meetings with other men.

Anderson, of Caspian, Michigan, was accused of taking selfie videos and photos with Ernst's body, writing a Bible verse on the wall and leaving a handwritten apology.

According to WLUK-TV, Anderson was convicted in Alabama in January of capital crimes related to Dixon's death.
