(AP) – A Texas man and woman have been given prison
sentences after pleading guilty in a 2015 alleged murder plot of a Morgan County
man and his family.
Morgan County Prosecuting Attorney Dustin Dunklee tells the News Tribune that
Patience Giersdorf is sentenced to 10 years in the Missouri Department of
Corrections for a class B felony of conspiracy to commit murder. Nicholas
Hartman is sentenced to 15 years in the same prison for a class B felony of
conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree.
Deputies received notice Feb. 6, 2015, of a possible murder-for-hire plot to
take place in Morgan County, which was later verified by an informant during the
investigation.
Hartman and Giersdorf met with an undercover deputy one week later and
allegedly negotiated for the murder of a man and his family members. The couple
was then arrested.
