Here is a link to an article in the local paper regarding the sentencing of Jessica Fear's killer and the sentence he received. You can also read the scumbag's criminal record in a sidebar. (He wasn't even a very good criminal.)
He took the coward's path by pleading guilty to second degree murder after jerking around the authorities claiming that he and Jessica had a "relationship" when in reality, he was probably just a creep who was stalking her. He also tried to claim crazy, which doesn't fly in Michigan very often. He wasn't so crazy to throw away the knife he used into the Red Cedar River, now was he?
I hope Jessica's family can find some peace, knowing that Westerveldt will likely die in prison and never enjoy freedom, much as he snuffed out her life in such a senseless crime.
Meanwhile, Jessica's heart and memory will live on through her daughter.
Rest In Peace, Jessica.
