A life sentence has been given to a man for a murder that occurred several years ago. The victim, a 29-year-old mother, was last seen after dropping off her child. She failed to appear at work and was reported missing.

Her body was never found, but digital evidence was used to build a case against the defendant. The trial was particularly challenging, according to prosecutors. The sentencing follows a conviction by a Harris County jury, which came after a relatively short period of deliberation.

Further details about the case are available from local news sources.
