A Fairbanks woman pleaded guilty to murder Tuesday morning for suffocating her two daughters in 2015 and 2017.
30-year-old, Stephany Elizabeth Bilecki, formerly known as Stephany Lafountain, pleaded guilty to two counts of felony second-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her fourth-month-old and 13-month-old daughters.


This is all I can see on the article.

So - @PayrollNerd - did she get sentenced yet - or is there a sentencing date on the court site? Take your time! TIA! :)

Dec. 10, 2024
A Fairbanks mother was sentenced to 130 years with 85 years suspended Monday afternoon for killing her 4-month-old in 2015 and her 13-month-old daughter in 2017.

That is all I can see of the article.
