Victims in Crow Wing County death investigation identified

The Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office has identified the two deceased individuals involved in a death investigation.

Although initial reports indicated the deaths occurred at a vacation home in Mission Township, authorities clarified Thursday morning that they occurred nearby in Pelican Township.

Law enforcement responded to a welfare check at a home in the 11000 block of Shelstad Drive around 2:41 p.m. Sunday.

A deceased woman, Jodi Lysne, 59, was found inside the home. Her fiancé, Brett Shestaf, 53, was taken outside, where he suffered a medical emergency and died, authorities said.

Autopsy results are pending toxicology and the deaths remain under investigation.
