A Texas woman has been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for the 2018 murders of a Wichita couple in Barton County.
55-year-old Kimberley Stacey Younger of Aransas Pass, Texas was sentenced in Barton County on a capital murder charge. Senior Judge James Fleetwood gave Younger another 245 months for conspiracy to commit murder, solicitation to commit murder and theft. The sentences will be served consecutively in a Kansas Department of Corrections facility.
Younger was one of four carnival workers convicted in the July, 2018 deaths of 78-year-old Alfred “Sonny” Carpenter and his 79-year-old wife Pauline. The Carpenters were killed after working at the Barton County Fair, and their bodies were later found in northwest Arkansas.
