An Idaho City man who killed two men, chopped them into pieces, and discarded their remains in a remote area of Boise County was sentenced Friday to life behind bars.
Michael Stephen Dauber, 45, will be eligible to seek parole after 17 years.
Kalogerakos' sister, Maria Kalogerakos, said in court her family had trusted Dauber and considered him a friend. She said his actions had robbed her of her brother and her children of their uncle.
Ultimately, the judge chose to honor the plea deal, handing down the 17-to-life sentence to which Dauber and prosecutors had agreed. With credit for time served, Dauber's parole eligibility date will come closer to 15 years.
"I am painfully aware that there is no sentence to fix this, nothing to bring back those the victims have lost," the judge said.
