VIENNA, Mo. (AP) — A mid-Missouri man will serve the rest of his life in prison for the shooting death of his girlfriend in June 2010.

Forty-three-year-old Terry Fritz of Meta (MEE-duh) was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without parole plus 100 years for the death of 35-year-old Kinga Gillibrand.

The Jefferson City News Tribune reports  that Gillibrand was killed at the couple’s home about 20 miles south of Jefferson City.

Gillibrand’s remains weren’t found until November 2010 when hunters discovered them. The hunters said her remains were covered by bloody bedding, and investigators found a bullet in the couple’s home.
