I cant wait to see if they get the same sentences.Often the mother gets off with some light sentence. She better get the same or more.
Sarah Lynn Krueger, 27, and her 29-year-old boyfriend, Ryan Scott Warner, were both found guilty of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of torture in the death of Kayleigh Slusher, who died from multiple blunt force injuries. The fatal injury caused a rupture in her small intestine.
The couple were also found guilty of abuse of a child under eight causing death.
The investigation began in 2014 when Napa police received a 911 call from the couple’s friend on February 1 to check on Kayleigh’s welfare. The friend later told police that he went over to the couple’s apartment the night before and discovered Kayleigh was dead.
“He didn’t want any part of it so he told them to call the police,” says Lind. “They did not call the police so he took it upon himself to call.”
Once inside the apartment, police found Kayleigh’s body in her bed. She was partially frozen.
“She was in [the freezer] for at least a number of hours,” says Lind. “Her body was still extremely cold to the touch when the officers found her. We don’t know for sure how long she was in the freezer.”
(Lind says she was placed in a regular freezer atop the refrigerator. “The little freezer that sits on top of your refrigerator,” she says.)
According to Lind, Krueger and Warner had fled earlier that morning before police arrived, but the pair was arrested the following day shortly after a woman spotted them at an IHOP Restaurant.
Lind says police found searches on Krueger’s cell phone for most populous cities in the U.S.
An autopsy determined that the young girl had 41 distinguishable injuries to the exterior of her body.
“She had severe injuries and bruising to her head,” says Lind. “Essentially just all over her body, arms, legs, torso, buttocks… It was tough. The medical examiner described the amount of pain and suffering she would have been in during the time she was dying. It wasn’t a quick process.”
Lind says she believes the beatings began months earlier.
“It appears most of the abuse took place the month or two prior to her being killed,” she says.
The couple told authorities they thought Kayleigh had died after she drank something that was poisonous.
“Neither of them had any legitimate explanation for the multitude of bruises and injuries on her body,” says Lind.
During the trial, Warner’s defense attorney, Mervin C. Lernhart, Jr., argued there was no evidence that his client abused the child or knew anything about the abuse, the Napa Valley Register reports.
During closing arguments, Krueger’s attorney, Jim McEntee, put the blame on Warner, alleging that he was the one responsible for the fatal blow that killed Kayleigh, according to the paper.
McEntee said that Krueger had used methamphetamine leading up the death of her daughter.
A California couple was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without parole for the 2014 torture murder of the woman's three-year-old daughter, reports CBS San Francisco.
Judge Francisca P. Tisher sentenced 27-year-old Sara Lynn Krueger and 29-year-old Ryan Scott Warner to the maximum prison term for the death of Krueger's daughter — Kayleigh Slusher.
The pair had been found guilty of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of a death involving torture and also an assault on a child causing death charge.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...er-win-5-million-settlement-against-Napa.htmlNapa has reached a $5million settlement with the father and grandparents of a three-year-old girl who was murdered by her mother and mother's boyfriend.
The city and county will split the settlement in the death of Kayleigh Slusher, whose frozen body was found in a suitcase on a bed in her mother's apartment.
Sara Lynn Krueger, 28, and her boyfriend Ryan Scott Warner, 30, were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the horrific January 2014 murder.
Kayleigh's father Jason Slusher and her grandparents Robin and Benny Slusher sued the city and county in May 2015.
They claimed Child Welfare Services and the Napa Police Department ignored their repeated allegations that Kayleigh was being abused and neglected.
US District Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong agreed.
'The horrific murder of Kayleigh likely could have been prevented had the police officers and social workers involved in this case performed their jobs with any semblance of competence,' she wrote in an early opinion of the case.
Police officers were called to Krueger's apartment five times in the months before Kayleigh's death, according to the Napa Valley Register. Three of those visits came in the two weeks before her murder.
Napa officer Garrett Wade visited Krueger's apartment in January 2014 after receiving reports from the family that Warner had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and that Kayleigh was in danger.
He did not investigate further, serve a warrant, or report suspected child abuse, according to the lawsuit.
Wade visited the apartment again that same month after Robin Slusher reported that Kayleigh was being denied food, in the presence of illegal drug use, and was possibly being abused.
The lawsuit states that Wade and fellow officer Dominic DeGuilio saw that Kayleigh's face was bruised and that she appeared 'sick, malnourished, and distressed'.
But Krueger told the officers that Kayleigh had the flu, took her into the bathroom, and told them to leave.
Wade told Robin that he would 'keep an eye on the apartment' but did not return before Kayleigh's horrific murder, the lawsuit states.
Before her granddaughter's death, Robin also called county Child Welfare Services and reported that Kreuger and Warner were using drugs.
She said that the couple was also intentionally depriving Kayleigh of food and that there was a warrant out for Warner's arrest.
Robin was told that Child Welfare Services could not do anything about the situation.

A state appeals court this week ordered the re-sentencing of Sara Lynn Krueger and Ryan Scott Warner, who were convicted for the 2014 murder, with special circumstances of torture, of Krueger’s 3-year-old daughter Kayleigh Slusher.
On appeal, Krueger and Warner challenged their convictions and sentences on multiple grounds. In two opinions totaling 147 pages, the appellate panel rejected all the challenges other than the determination of the special circumstances of torture.
The court found that torture with special circumstances requires proof that the defendant intended to kill when he or she tortured the victim.
Based on those facts, the court determined that the evidence at trial was not sufficient to prove the defendants intended to kill Kayleigh. This required a reversal of their sentence and a re-sentencing that will take place at a future date in Napa County Superior Court.
In the gruesome details recounted by the court, on Feb. 1, 2014, authorities went to Krueger’s apartment and discovered Kayleigh’s body in bed under blankets. Her face was bruised and blood came from her nose. Her skin was ice cold.
The coroner’s investigator found bruises all over her body. Paraphernalia related to methamphetamine was found in the apartment.
Medical experts testified that Kayleigh — 41 inches tall and 34 pounds at the time of her death — had 41 external injuries on her body including “blunt force injuries to the front and back of her torso.”
The experts testified that the beating had caused Kayleigh’s intestines to burst and over a period between 12 hours and three days, the injury caused infection that lead to shock and death.
In the period between the injury and her death, the experts testified Kayleigh “would have cried and would have suffered discomfort, pain, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. The symptoms would have progressed over time to unconsciousness and death.”
At the time of her death, Kayleigh was living with Krueger and Warner, who used methamphetamines together and had a frequently stormy domestic life.
Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley issued a statement expressing her strong disagreement with the ruling reversing the sentencing. She praised the juries who she said, “had the courage and common sense to call abject cruelty what it was.”
Haley said, “if not an intent to kill, then why beat your baby so severely that her intestine ruptures?”
