In a press release issued Monday evening, South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley announced that the identities have been confirmed of the two bodies recovered last Friday at the scene of a Wessington Springs house fire.
Michial Brodkorb, 51, and Tiffany Knipfer, 45, were identified after autopsies were completed Monday. Both are from Wessington Springs.
“The investigation continues into the cause and manner of death, and the origin of the fire,” said Attorney General Jackley.
South Dakota’s Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is leading the investigation. Others assisting are Jerauld County Sheriff Jason Weber, the South Dakota Fire Marshal’s Office, and ATF.
