Man gets life in prison for murder of Dallas woman found in burning SUV
By FOX 4 Staff article
DALLAS - The man accused of kidnapping, murdering and then burning the body of a young Dallas woman will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office confirmed 51-year-old Glen Richter pleaded guilty Thursday to 22-year-old Sara Hudson’s murder.
Hudson was found dead in a burning SUV on Lower Greenville in August of 2019. She had gone out that night to celebrate her birthday.
Prosecutors said as she was walking through the parking lot of a nearby bar, Richter bear-hugged her from behind and forced her back into the driver’s seat of her SUV.
Dallas resident Ashton Pinke, 27, was shot by officers in the suburb of Mesquite after police received a 911 hang-up call where a woman was heard screaming and crying.
Police said Moore was heard afterward telling a witness that he had fallen asleep at the wheel.
Moore has a long history of driving while intoxicated and had just been released from probation for his fourth conviction for driving while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs when the crash happened, according to the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office statement.
He had his bond increased in December 2019 after two breath-test violations and failing to charge his electronic leg monitor.
Prosecutor Lauren Black said Moore‘s initial arrests were for drunken driving but had turned to other intoxicants to escape detection. His escalating behavior was the reason for the lengthy sentence, of which he must serve at least 20 years.
