Mom Caught on Dashcam Fatally Injecting Ex-Husband With Tranquilizer During Ugly Custody Battle
New York Post ^ | Oct. 3, 2024 | Nicholas McEntyre and Emily Crane

An Ohio mom has been sentenced to 40 years behind bars after she was caught on camera ambushing her ex-husband and fatally injecting him with a powerful animal tranquilizer during an ugly custody dispute over their kids, federal prosecutors said.

Amanda Hovanec, 37, pleaded guilty this week to poisoning 36-year-old Timothy Hovanec when he arrived to drop off their three daughters at her Wapakoneta home in 2022. “She then pulled on his back to bring him to the ground, holding him around the neck until his body went limp and he became unresponsive, lying on the driveway,” prosecutors said.

Newly released footage of the disturbing attack, which was captured on the father’s dashcam camera, showed Hovanec telling the girls she had a “surprise” for them when they emerged from the car, the feds said.

This is terrible. Could they take away his custody because he was taking care of his children under the influence of tranquilizers?

40 years for premeditated murder is not enough.

Yes, you are spot on. 40 years is not enough for premeditated planned murder one.

Could they take away his custody because he was taking care of his children under the influence of tranquilizers?

That was not the motive for injecting him. The motive was to incapacitate him so she could strangle him.

All involved should be hung by the neck until dead.

Those poor children.
