NEW LISBON, Wis.—A man charged in the killing of a Wisconsin woman and two girls more than a week ago was captured Thursday, authorities said.

Virgil Thew was arrested about 30 minutes after someone reported a suspicious person in Elroy, a small community about 12 miles from New Lisbon, where the killings occurred, the Juneau County Sheriff’s Office and New Lisbon police said.
