Anthony Love Queen, 22, pleaded guilty to second degree murder. Hugh Ward, 67, was stabbed to death in March 2010, the day after Queen got out of prison for another crime...

Madera County investigators found Hugh Ward's body in the trunk of his own car. Queen had reported his grandfather's disappearance and a burglary at the home, but investigators were suspicious from the start. They arrested him for murder the next day.

On Monday, a judge sentenced him to 15 years to life in prison.
