They went on to say that their parents were robbed of their retirement, their children are robbed of time with their grandparents, and they're robbed of spending any more time with their parents, all because Virginia felt entitled to their money and entitled to their lives.

The judge in this case said that Virginia's actions were a gross violation of the trust that should exist between parents and their children.

He went on to say, quote, In the end, Virginia was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 36 years served before she will be eligible for parole.

She actually said in court that she is a happier person inside of prison than on the outside, which I guess makes sense.

I mean, she was unemployed.

She didn't want to work or do anything for herself.

So now that she's in prison, I guess she doesn't have to worry about any of that.

One of the prosecutors in this case spoke to the media after the hearing, saying that Virginia is a master manipulator who lied about every aspect of her life.

She is a cold-blooded killer who didn't even think twice about murdering her parents, all in the name of covering up what she did.

At this point, that is all of the information we have on today's case.

As I said earlier, this case has been going wild in the media and I can definitely see why.

It's hard to believe that anyone could live with two bodies decomposing in their own home, let alone those bodies being your own parents.

Then to be so cold and callous about it, it's just unbelievable.

I do see how and why this case took so long to come to fruition and

Again, I think it was a combination of the fact that John and Lois were pretty introverted, plus COVID really worked in Virginia's favor.

No one was leaving their homes, even for holidays and family events, for a year or two or some people even longer, especially with their age.

It probably wasn't a surprise that they weren't leaving their home for a couple years during COVID.

At the end of the day though, I am happy that someone in their lives noticed their absence and decided to take action.

Had she not been stupid enough to hide their bodies in that home, who knows how long it would have been to bring justice to these two victims.
