In Clare County, a woman who pled guilty earlier this year to murder charges was sentenced.

55-year-old Judy Boyer of Farwell was given life in prison.

She was given the sentence for the murders of four people in October of 2021 including her father, sister and two others at a home in downtown Clare.

Meanwhile, Ryan Patrick Beatty was previously charged with accessory after the fact to a felony, and one count of possessing a firearm while being a felon. He was accused of helping Boyer in hiding and trying to dispose of the 22-caliber long rifle used in the homicides.

The charges against Beatty have been dismissed.
