WETUMPKA, Ala. (AP) - Elmore County court records show Michael Andrew Wright of Millbrook was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the 2008 murder of his live-in girlfriend.
Wright pleaded guilty in March. Elmore County Circuit Judge John Bush handed down the sentence Tuesday.
The woman, 41-year-old Gloria Silas Russell, was discovered missing in July 2008 when police responded to a complaint of a domestic dispute at her home, where she lived with Wright. Several days later, her body was found in the woods off Elmore County 3 in Deatsville, about a quarter of a mile behind J.F. Ingram State Technical College.
