WAUSHARA COUNTY-- Eight people, seven from Waushara County, face charges related to the death of 21-year-old Amalia Henschel. She was found dead under a porch at a Redgranite home in April. Police called her death suspicious but no charges were filed until this week. The autopsy showed Henschel died of a heroin overdose. 

Two men, Randy Lindgren and John Gearnhardt, are charged with reckless homicide. They're accused of providing the heroin that killed Henschel. 

The others were charged with various other crimes including perjury and conspiracy to distribute heroin.
