(AP)-A 27-year-old man from Winnebago has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for killing a woman and burning her body.
The U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release that Jonathan Rooney was sentenced Friday in the death of 22-year-old Kozee Decorah in May 2020 and for burning her body near a remote cabin on the Winnebago reservation.
He was convicted in December of manslaughter and destruction of evidence.
Authorities found Rooney in the cabin with the couple's infant son.
A skeleton later identified as Decorah's was found in the fire.
