“This effectively is a life sentence for Smoker,” District Attorney Heather Adams said at a news conference after the hearing.
Authorities said they believe Smoker killed Stoltzfoos within a few hours of kidnapping her, buried her in one location where her stockings and bra were later found, then moved her body to another grave, on railroad property behind a business where he worked. A coroner said she was strangled and stabbed.
Smoker led authorities to her remains in April as a condition of his plea agreement, Adams said.
LNP newspaper reported that Smoker apologized to Stoltzfoos’ family in court, saying he had “robbed the family of time and memories.” President Judge David Ashworth called Smoker a “predator of the worst kind.”
