Weaver, just 24 at the time, shot Thornton twice in the head, dismembered his body with a saw, and stuffed the remains into a buried freezer. He then lied to Thornton’s family, claiming he’d gone “off grid,” while stealing $30,000 to buy a motorcycle. Sentencing finally came seven years later, with the judge noting Weaver’s deception made genuine remorse hard to believe. He’ll be eligible for parole in 2039.
