A South Dakota jury found a man guilty of killing his girlfriend and dumping her dismembered body in a river in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula last year.
45-year-old Stephen Falkenberg was convicted of first-degree manslaughter and second-degree murder, in the death of 46-year-old Tamara LaFramboise.
Falkenberg is scheduled to be sentenced in March. He could face up to life in prison.
Prosecutors say Falkenberg killed her in South Dakota and drove to Michigan, where he grew up. Her body was found in a river in Menominee County, about 10 miles north of Marinette.
