Florencia Natalya Flo Henthorn, 14, of Evansville, Wisconsin, died on April 6, 2025, after suffering a gunshot wound inside a home in the 300 block of South Madison Street. Emergency responders were summoned shortly after 9:00 a.m.; she was transported for treatment but later died at American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison.

Investigators determined Florencia had been staying at that residence with Hunter Drefahl and Alyssa Ahrens. Authorities say Drefahl was inside the home when Florencia obtained his loaded firearm and shot herself; prosecutors later reported Drefahl did not remain to provide aid, removed the gun from the residence with Ahrens, and eventually turned the firearm over to law enforcement. Detectives also uncovered evidence that Drefahl and Ahrens had engaged in sexual activity with Florencia, recorded those encounters, and supplied her with methamphetamine, cocaine, THC and alcohol. An argument about the recordings occurred hours before the shooting.

Drefahl and Ahrens were arrested on a range of charges tied to the sexual exploitation, child pornography and drug conduct; neither was charged with homicide. Pleas and convictions in the subsequent prosecution established criminal responsibility for the abuse and exploitation surrounding Florencia in the weeks before her death, and both received lengthy prison terms in March 2026. Her family remembered Flo as smart, kind and fiercely protective, with interests including dancing, reading and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Did anyone in Evansville know Florencia well enough to shed light on where she spent time in the weeks before April 6, 2025?
