Background from {[.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/air-force-member-sentenced-life-prison-kidnapping-killing-woman-rcna12845?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab]}
Mark Gooch, an airman first class, was convicted by a jury in October on one count each of first-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of Sasha Krause. Krause's body was found Sunset Crater National Monument in Arizona a month after she disappeared.
Gooch, now 22, and Krause did not know each other.
“This case is truly the most senseless case I have ever presided over,” Coconino County Superior Court Judge Cathleen Brown Nichols said in handing down the sentence.
Gooch, who has denied kidnapping or killing Krause, showed no emotion as the judge sentenced him to prison for the rest of his natural life, which means no possibility of parole.
He made brief remarks in court Wednesday, and he expressed his condolences for Krause’s family and said he was thankful for the support of his own family.

Sadly deranged people can happen in any career field. Prayers for her family, that they can find some peace.

This was a hate crime. He targeted her because of her religion. A life sentence is too lenient.
