Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom announced that Uriah David Schulz, age 41, currently residing in Apple Valley, pled guilty today to Manslaughter in the First Degree in connection with the death of his girlfriend, 41-year-old Elizabeth Victoria Perrault of Burnsville, which occurred on or about November 1, 2017.  Perrault’s body was not located until April 22, 2018. Judge Tanya O’Brien sentenced Schulz to the statutory maximum of 15 years in prison. This is an aggravated upward departure of 70 months under the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines due to the concealment of the victim’s body.  Schulz has been in custody at the Dakota County jail since his arrest on September 10, 2018 and will now be transferred to state prison.  Read the full press release below:
