Jury selected in Kris Zocco-Kelly Dwyer erotic asphyxiation homicide trial
A jury of twelve women and two men was selected Monday for the trial of Kris Zocco in the 2013 death and disappearance of Kelly Dwyer.
Zocco, 43, faces counts of first-degree reckless homicide, strangulation and hiding a corpse.
The jury, including two alternates, will hear opening statements Tuesday morning before being taken to visit scenes related to the case, including Zocco's former east side Milwaukee apartment on the 18th floor at Lafayette Towers.
Dwyer was last seen entering that building with Zocco on Oct. 11, 2013. Prosecutors believe she died during asphyxia-sex with Zocco, who then snuck her body out of the building in a travel case for golf clubs and hid the body in bushes in rural Jefferson County, where her remains were discovered 19 months later.
Zocco told detectives he and Dwyer had sex that night, as they had in the past, but that she left his apartment about 9 a.m. the next morning.
