A Wisconsin woman accused of killing a man who sexually trafficked her as a teen is facing extradition back to Kenosha County after being taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Louisiana on Monday.
Chrystul Kizer , now 23, spent nearly two weeks on the lam after county authorities issued a $40,000 warrant for her arrest. Online jail records showed Kizer was being held on four counts of extradition in the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on Wednesday.
The counts are connected to earlier charges of felony bail jumping filed by Wisconsin prosecutors, who alleged she’d broken the terms of a $400,000 bond she posted in June 2020 to secure her release while awaiting trial in the death of Randall Volar III. Kizer was 17 years old when she was arrested in 2018 and charged with shooting Volar in the head, setting his house on fire, and fleeing in his car.
Kizer and her supporters argued that Volar, 34, had sexually abused and trafficked her for more than a year, and that she was being punished for acting in self-defense. Prosecutors did not disagree that Volar had sexually assaulted Kizer and other girls. But they argued that Volar’s murder was premeditated, charging Kizer with arson and first-degree intentional homicide.
