Stepfather Gets Life for Abusive Murder
23 Oct
Summary
- Stepfather drove 100 miles to abuse victim.
- Victim was murdered and staged as suicide.
- He received a life sentence with 35 years.
A judge has handed down a life sentence to Nathan Owens, specifying a minimum of 35 years, for the brutal acts against his stepdaughter. Describing Owens' conduct as "despicable," the judge presided over the sentencing for the murder and sexual abuse.
Owens drove approximately 100 miles overnight to commit the sexual assault. Following the abuse, he murdered 19-year-old Carla Georgescu and deliberately staged her death scene to mislead authorities into believing it was a suicide.
The court's decision reflects the severity of the crimes. Owens will serve a substantial minimum term before any possibility of parole, acknowledging the profound harm inflicted.
