Vania Rae Sisk, from Durham, N.C., was sentenced today to at least 30 years in prison for helping conceal her 4-year-old son’s murder, and for killing another woman of the religious cult to which she belonged.
The cult’s leader is still to be sentenced.
One of three women charged in connection with the murders of two fellow cult members may accept a plea bargain.
The woman was part of the Black Hebrews cult led by Peter Moses.
Durham, NC, police on Wednesday charged seven people with murder in the death of Antoinetta Yvonne McKoy, who was reported missing in February.
Suspected cult leader, 27-year-old Peter Moses, is among those charged.
Vania Sisk, the mother of missing 5-year-old boy boy Jadon Higganbothan, didn’t show up for her court date in Durham, NCÂ Tuesday morning.
The missing boy is feared dead after an informant told police that the leader of a polygamous cult shot the boy in a fit of rage.
A 5-year-old boy whose mother belonged to a polygamist sect was killed by the mother’s boyfriend last year in Durham, N.C., an informant told Durham police.
