"Judge Kristina Karle sentenced Precious Arzuaga, identified by prosecutors as the ringleader in the case, to the maximum penalty on all 11 counts to which she pleaded guilty."
"The judge gave Jennifer Quijano, 32, life in prison without parole for first degree murder, 25 years to life for kidnapping, an initiated sentence of eight and 1/3 to 25 years for conspiracy in the second degree, 25 years for aggravated sexual abuse in the first degree, one to four years for concealment of a human corpse, and 364 days for endangering the welfare of a child."
"Ontario County assistant district attorney Sara Van Strydonck called Quijano "the muscle" in the torture and killing of the 24-year-old Nordquist during the sentencing hearing."
"His remains were discovered on Feb. 12, 2025, in a field in Benton, New York, in Yates County, according to New York State Police investigators."
