A search of a Wausau police officer's locker by authorities in Shawano County has produced more details for their attempted murder investigation against Chueng Lee... they found personal information pertaining to Lee and his wife, Chao Lee, including items indicating Lee was planning to marry another woman in Laos or perhaps already had... Authorities say they've learned through interviews with other Wausau police officers that Lee showed them a picture of a young woman, saying she would soon be his wife... Authorities have reviewed video in which Chao, 40, can be heard telling an officer, "He try to kill me. He went to Laos, he get married, he come back and he do this to me." Lee is accused driving his truck into a Shawano County bridge on purpose in September, which caused serious injuries to Chao. Financial statements, flight itineraries and death beneficiary information were also found in Lee's locker... Officials say they're still having a difficult time knowing one of their own is at the focus of an attempted murder investigation... Lee is charged in Shawano County with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, false imprisonment and aggravated battery...

That's sad for the Hmong community. If he had integrity none of this would have happened.
