My prayers go out to the remaining family members and to the responding officers. So tragic.

A Washington City man convicted of murdering his wife and stepson was sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole Tuesday despite a request by his attorneys to allow him the hope of release when he is elderly.

Richard Andrew Jones, 50, pleaded no contest to two charges of aggravated murder in September, six months after the prosecution announced it would not ask for the death penalty if Jones were found guilty...

Michelle's mother, Cheryl Wahlgren, said previously that the family had asked for Jones to be spared the death penalty, and Michelle's stepfather told Ludlow on Tuesday that the family is not seeking vengeance.
