SITKA -- A Sitka judge sentenced a woman Thursday to 55 years in prison for murdering her husband almost 23 years ago.
Jane Reth, 46, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in November for shooting and killing her husband, Scott Coville, in 1988, just after he turned 26, and disposing of his body.
The judge agreed to suspend 19 years of her sentence. He ordered her to serve 10 years' probation when she's released.
The case's first big break came in 2007 with a tip, troopers said. Cold case detectives tracked Reth to Oswego, Ill., where she was living quietly. They arrested her and brought her back to Alaska in January.
