A New Jersey man who used dating apps to lure and kill 3 women was sentenced to 160 years in prison.
The sentencing was preceded by emotional statements by family members of victims Robin West and Sarah Butler.
The Essex County prosecutor’s office had credited friends of Butler, a college student from Montclair, with using social media to help police find Wheeler-Weaver. They gained access to her social media accounts, set up a fake account, lured Wheeler-Weaver to a meeting in Montclair and notified police, according to prosecutors.
Assistant Essex County Prosecutor Adam Wells noted Wednesday that the killings were separated by weeks, giving Wheeler-Weaver a chance to contemplate his actions before killing again. West’s mother, Anita Mason, described a sometimes headstrong young woman who often showed a softer side.
