MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) -- A Chilton man already jailed in connection with his girlfriend's disappearance is now charged with her murder.

Fifty-one-year-old Roger D. Rosenthal was charged Thursday with first-degree intentional murder.

He was charged Jan. 29 with hiding a corpse, after the body of 39-year-old Michelle Jaeger was found in a wooded area near Brillion, in Manitowoc County.

The woman had been missing since Jan. 9. Her body was found on a sled covered with peanut bags and branches on Jan. 23 by two of Rosenthal's friends. They searched the land where they knew he hunted.

A message left after business hours Thursday with Rosenthal's public defender wasn't immediately returned.

MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) -- The boyfriend of a 39-year-old woman found dead in rural Manitowoc County has been charged in connection with her death.

Fifty-one-year-old Roger Rosenthal was charged Friday in Manitowoc County with hiding a corpse.

Michelle Jaeger, of Chilton, was missing for more than two weeks before two men discovered her body Jan. 24. A forensic exam shows she suffered trauma to the back of the head.

According to a criminal complaint, Jaeger was wrapped in large nylon bags and strapped to a sled. The complaint says some items used to dispose of her body match those taken from the couple's home and Rosenthal's locker at work.

WLUK-TV in Green Bay reports authorities have said more serious charges are possible.

Rosenthal is expected in court for an initial appearance Monday.
