Ina Kenoyer, who is in her late 40s, was charged with one count of murder in the October 2023 death of Stephen Riley, 51, also of Minot. She pleaded guilty Thursday and will be sentenced in August following a presentence investigation, according to court records.

Those court records do not indicate any type of agreement with prosecutors regarding a potential sentence in exchange for Kenoyer's guilty plea. The maximum possible penalty is life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Authorities allege Kenoyer's motive was a reported inheritance of roughly $30 million. That inheritance was ultimately determined to be a scam, according to Ward County authorities.

ND laws of intestacy and those that do not recognize common law marriage in ND say her plan wasn't going to work anyway. She's no lawyer, isn't even aware that common law marriage isn't recognized.

She informed detectives she was going to take half and give rest to his son. As if she were a surviving spouse of a person who died with no will. Nope, wrong state lady.

That poor man died for nothing. Most likely, had he been alive, she would have been living her best life, with Steven. What a fool!

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here, but the inheritance was proven to be a scam.

We experience so many horrific stories on Websleuths.....
sometimes it is just so "refreshing" to reread the inane and absurd stories that crack us up.

Bodycam and interview footage linked to Steve Riley's death was posted to youtube recently.

A lot of details in this video that aren't in the rather sparse news articles about this murder.

If you check her various social media accounts, it looks like it was a toxic on and off relationship between them, she appears to have been humiliated and controlled by him multiple times. There was a lot of hurt and anger on her side even years before the murder. Still all that does not justify murder at all but it may soften the image of the “evil wife” a bit.

It may have been a toxic relationship, I don't know. But that's not why she killed him. She killed him because she thought he was inheriting $37 million, and she wanted the money for herself.
