Detroit Lakes , MN (KDLM/KFGO)- A Red Lake, Minnesota woman was sentenced to life in prison for killing two of her children and setting their home on fire two years ago.
Jennifer Stately was convicted by a federal jury of five counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson in February.
She stabbed two of her sons who were five and six years old before setting three fires inside the house, including at the home’s two exits. The six year old died from his stab wounds and the five year old died from carbon monoxide poisoning. It happened at her home on the Red Lake reservation.
Stately then fled the area, and officials issued an AMBER Alert. She was later found nearly 150 miles south in Todd County with her 3-year-old son. Investigators says the three year old was malnourished and neglected.
