ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A former stripper-turned-soccer mom has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for plotting the 1996 to kill her former fiance.
Mechele Linehan was sentenced on Wednesday. Linehan, 35, was convicted in October of first-degree murder in the 1996 shooting of death of Kent Leppink. Leppink's body was found on a remote trail.
Prosecutors say Linehan had Leppink killed for insurance money and was inspired by a 1994 movie, "The Last Seduction," in which a woman coaxes her lover into killing her husband for money.
Linehan's coconspirator, John Carlin III, was sentenced in January to 99 years in prison for firing the shots that killed Leppink.
Lots of skinny poles in prison for her to practice her craft. Enjoy the scenery and luxurious accomodations.
The perp must think she looks like Linda:
I’m sure Alaska prisons offer just lovely accomidations.

She will be held in WA so as to be closer to her child. Other long-term AK prisoners are held in a private ‘faciity’ in AZ.
I am betting that hubby will dump her before a year is out.
The TeeVee coverage was interesting. High profile and all that.
