Investigators say Hardy fired randomly at vehicles along Interstate 40 in western Oklahoma on Dec. 16, 2015. The attack killed 45-year-old Kent Powell of Arapaho, Oklahoma, and 63-year-old Billie Jean West of Lone Wolf, Oklahoma.

Prosecutors allege Hardy identified with a group that believes the federal government is plotting to remove American citizens' rights. They plan to use evidence about his political beliefs to show a possible motive for the shootings.

I-40 killer Jeremy Doss Hardy pled guilty to the murders of Kent Powell of Arapaho and Billie Jean West of Lone Wolf late Tuesday morning and was assessed two life-in-prison-without-the-possibilty-of-parole sentences by District Judge Doug Haught.

He also was sentenced to four other life sentences for shooting into four semis, narrowly missing other victims, and to an additional 14 years in prison on four other counts.

Powell’s wife, Tamara, and Mrs. West’s daughter, Laura Carlucci, were questioned by Judge Haught and said on behalf of their respective families that they wished him to follow the terms of a plea agreement first proposed by Hardy’s attorneys and agreed to by prosecutors after they talked with the families.

While it does enable the 38-year-old Hardy to avoid the death penalty, district attorneys Angela Marsee of Custer County and Jason Hicks of Caddo County said it also avoids any possibility of him ever walking the streets again.

“He waived his right to appeal and to seek commutation or pardon, and he will not profit from his acts,” said Marsee. She said that means he cannot accept any movie or book deals.
