Carlos Montalvo-Rivera, 55, was convicted of first-degree murder, arson, risking catastrophe, and three counts of attempted criminal homicide for the December 2010 blaze.
About 13 years after a Pennsylvania man set his house on fire with his three children and wife inside, killing her, a Lancaster County judge sentenced him to plus 20 years in prison.
Montalvo-Rivera claimed intruders had broken into his home, killed his wife, Olga Sanchez-Reyes, and set his home on fire. Carlos Montalvo-Rivera was sentenced to 20 years in prison for setting a fire in his house that killed his wife Olga Sanchez-Reyes in 2010.He suggested the intruders were retaliating against his brother, who had cooperated with the Drug Enforcement Administration in an unrelated matter, but a nine-year investigation proved otherwise, and Montalvo-Rivera was arrested and charged in 2019.
Montalvo-Rivera’s eight- and nine-year-old daughters were transported to a hospital in critical condition after the fire, and his 13-year-old son also received treatment, according to a 2010 article from Lancaster Online.
