After Stephanie’s mummified remains were discovered in a wooded area in Wisconsin, detectives used digital evidence, surveillance footage, and a cadaver dog to link Paul to the crime. Although the medical examiner could not determine an exact cause of death due to decomposition, the prosecution argued that Paul strangled Stephanie with her own purse strap after she attempted to leave him. A personal journal found after her death documented years of domestic abuse, providing a voice for the victim during the legal proceedings. Despite Paul’s claims of innocence and his attempt to flee to the Philippines, a jury found him guilty in less than an hour. He was ultimately sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
