A Wisconsin teenager who pleaded guilty to killing a local marathon runner while driving drunk still faces additional criminal charges, as disturbing details continue to emerge about the fatal crash.
Addison Bowell, 18, pleaded guilty Thursday to three counts of homicide related to the death of Ann Seidl, 54. Bowell remains charged with an additional count of hit-and-run causing death, which is scheduled to go to trial in June.
According to a criminal complaint cited by WQOW, Seidl was struck and killed in the early morning hours of March 29, 2025, while out for a run near her home. Seidl, an accomplished marathon runner and mother of three sons, was reportedly running in her neighborhood when Bowell’s vehicle hit her.
In a tragic twist, Bowell’s own mother discovered Seidl’s body near a mailbox while leaving for work and called 911. She later told police that her daughter, who was 17 at the time, had returned home drunk about an hour earlier.
Police said Bowell’s mother described her daughter as someone who “just refuses” to stop drinking heavily and smoking marijuana, despite attempts to intervene through counseling and even military-style programs.
When officers questioned Bowell at the family’s home, she allegedly showed little concern for what had happened. According to the complaint, Bowell told police she “didn’t want to deal with this” and complained that she already had “like 16 underages and couldn’t get another one.”
Bowell admitted to police that she drank heavily before driving and said she did not know what she hit — and did not care. A preliminary breath test showed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.114, above the legal limit, and police said she failed multiple sobriety tests.
Investigators later discovered videos on Bowell’s phone showing damage to her car, which she had recorded and sent to friends. When asked what she hit, Bowell allegedly told them she struck another car “so hard.”
While being held at the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office, Bowell told police she remembered hearing a thud but did not stop to investigate. She admitted she was on her phone and not paying attention to the road at the time.

After officers informed her that the person she struck had died, Bowell allegedly responded, “Who walks on the road at 3 in the morning?” before asking whether she would be released.
On Thursday, Bowell formally pleaded guilty to the three homicide charges, all of which cite her intoxication at the time of the crash. Sentencing on those counts is expected to take place after the hit-and-run charge is resolved.
Bowell remains in custody at the Dunn County Jail without bond.
