Mom, boyfriend sentenced to life without parole for 3YO's death

Napa County's Supreme Court has sentenced Sarah Lynn Krueger and Ryan Scott Warner to life without parole for the torture, murder, and assault of  Krueger's 3-year-old daughter in 2014.

A Napa County Superior Court jury found Krueger, 27, guilty in May, and a separate jury then returned its verdict against Krueger's 29-year-old boyfriend Warner for the death of Kayleigh Slusher.

An autopsy determined Kayleigh died of blunt force trauma. Her body had been placed in a freezer, then left in a suitcase on a bed in an apartment at the Royal Gardens Apartment. Napa police found the body on Feb. 1, 2014.

Krueger and Warner were arrested the next day at a BART station in El Cerrito.

The jury hearing the evidence against Krueger reached a verdict in May after a day of deliberation, but the verdict was sealed until the other jury reached a verdict against Warner this morning.

The Napa County District Attorney's Office did not seek the death penalty against the defendants.
