KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The father of a 3-year-old Kansas City, Kansas, girl was sentenced Friday to nearly three decades for his role in her murder.

A Wyandotte County judge sentenced Howard Jansen III to 29 years in prison Friday. The sentencing came a month after Jansen pleaded “no contest” to second-degree murder and abuse of a child.

The plea and sentence were part of a deal with prosecutors. Jansen originally faced a first-degree murder charge in the death of his daughter, Olivia.

That gorgeous little girl has got some justice but I would have liked to have seen life without parole.

Jansen pleaded no contest last month to charges of second-degree murder, child abuse, aggravated child endangerment and interfering with a law enforcement investigation. His girlfriend, Jacqulyn Kirkpatrick, is serving a 31-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in November to second-degree murder and interfering with a law enforcement investigation.

Police found the body of Olivia Jansen on July 10, 2020, hours after Jansen had reported her missing. An autopsy found she had signs of physical abuse and had died of a brain bleed. The girl's killing touched off an internal investigation of the Kansas Department for Children and Families.

Did either of those two confess the truth? Did they give an honest account of what each of them did to sweet little Olivia? I hope they never see the light of day again.
