Bonnie Sweeten Senteced to 100 Months for Kidnapping Hoax


Bonnie Sweeten—the paralegal who told a 911 operator that she and her nine-year-old daughter had been kidnapped and stuffed in a trunk—has been sentenced to 100 months in prison for the fraudulent claim. Sweeten said she wanted the ransom money for fertility treatments and a luxury home. She’s already served a year in prison since the 2009 scam. [6 ABC]
