MINOT, N.D. (KFYR/Gray News) - A North Dakota woman was sentenced for poisoning her boyfriend after believing he had inherited $30 million.

Ina Kenoyer, 48, was sentenced to 50 years, first serve 25. That means she’ll serve 25 years in prison with the remaining 25-year balance suspended, KFYR reported.

Prosecutors said that 48-year-old Ina Thea Kenoyer, poisoned Stephen Riley, Jr., with antifreeze on the false belief that she would inherit part of a multi-million-dollar inheritance.

After receiving the news, the couple met with an estate lawyer on Sept. 3, 2023.

That day, Riley became ill, with paramedics arriving at his home the next day to find him unresponsive.

He was declared dead on Sept. 5.

Investigators later learned that that inheritance likely didn’t even exist at all.

Ryan Riley, the victim’s 21-year-old son, told The Post that the couple had actually fallen victim to an online scam and there never was any money.

Stephanie Gonzalez, Riley’s sister, said that Kenoyer stole more than just a human life.

“You stole my son from his mother and stepfather. You stole a father from five sons, a brother from two sisters, an uncle from 12 nieces and nephews, and a great uncle to eight, and many friends. How does it feel to have taken so much for absolutely nothing?” she said.

Kenoyer will also have to pay restitution to the victim’s family.

Surely that's a typo and Stephanie is his mother? Otherwise....

Even if he had how the hell did she think she could get access to that money not being his wife?
