Sheboygan, Wis. (WHBL)- A shocking story unfolding in the city of Sheboygan today. An elderly Sheboygan woman was arrested at 9 o’clock this morning on a charge of 2nd degree murder in the death of her infant daughter 54 years ago. Sheboygan Police said it took a sibling who came forward about two years ago and then dozens of interviews by Detectives Paul Hamman and Paul Olsen. Olsen said 74 year old Ruby Klokow has admitted to throwing her 6 month old daughter Jeaneen onto a couch because she was upset with her other children. Klokow was arrested at her home this morning. Olsen said the incident occurred in a home which no longer exists and was located where the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department is now located. Olsen said it was a long and difficult investigation because many of the key people involved have since died and there was no physical evidence preserved from the case. He said at the time of the death it was listed as suspicious but no arrests were ever made, although the child had died of severe head injuries. At the time, Klokow told officers the infant was injured in a fall from the couch. Hamman said the woman worked at a local factory until she retired and is currently doing part-time cleaning. She is now being held in the county jail pending a court appearance tomorrow morning on a charge of 2nd degree murder.
