13 charges added in Mankato killing--By: Hannah Mikels

A 32-year-old Mankato man who allegedly posed as a fire inspector has been indicted on 13 new charges in the rape and killing of a Mankato woman, according to the Mankato Free Press.
This includes four counts of first-degree murder bringing Jody Lee Miller's charges to 19 felonies in the attack on Judith Kay Ellgen, 53, according to the Star Tribune.
Ellgen's nude body was found by police on Feb. 23, according to the Star Tribune.
Preliminary tests showed she died from asphyxia due to manual strangulation, according to the Star Tribune.
Miller allegedly used his disguse to gain entrance into Ellgen's apartment, according to the Mankato Free Press.
Blue Earth County District Court Judge Bradley Walker on Monday set bail at $750,000 on the new charges, according to the Mankato Free Press.
