Sioux Falls police are investigating a homicide that happened over the weekend.  Rescue personnel responded to a medical emergency in 709 South Garfield in central Sioux Falls Sunday evening.  Fifty-six year old Kari Ann Kirkegaard was found dead inside the home with no immediate cause of death.  An autopsy reveals the manner of death is consistent with homicide.  Detectives say the victim’s bedding was missing.  Police are asking the public near South Garfield Avenue to check their garbage containers for anything out of the ordinary.  And if anyone had contact with Kari Kirkegaard this past week are also asked to call police.  This is the first homicide in Sioux Falls this year.
