WARREN, Minn. (KFGO) – A Warren, Minnesota man has been charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of his ex-wife.
31-year-old Anders Odegaard was arrested at his home Tuesday afternoon after two of the couple’s five children stopped a man and asked that he call 911, saying their mother was bleeding and needed help.
The complaint says Anders Odegaard told a Marshall County deputy, “I don’t feel right,” when the officer arrived at the home. Odegaard appeared to have blood on his face and in his hair.
31-year-old Carissa Odegaard of Grand Forks was found unresponsive in the entryway with severe head injuries. There was blood pooling on the floor, and one of the children said he believed that his father had hit his mother with a knife or spatula.
The Odegaard children had been staying with Anders and an argument started when Carissa arrived to pick them up for church.
Carissa Odegaard was airlifted to a Fargo hospital where she died.
A verified GoFundMe fundraiser has been created to support the family of Carissa Odegaard.
