Anchorge, April 3: A former stripper-turned-soccer mom has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for plotting to kill her former fiance.

Mechele Linehan was sentenced on Wednesday. Linehan, 35, was convicted in October of first-degree murder in the 1996 shooting of death of Kent Leppink. Leppink's body was found on a remote trail.

Prosecutors say Linehan had Leppink killed for insurance money and was inspired by a 1994 movie, The Last Seduction," in which a woman coaxes her lover into killing her husband for money.

Linehan's co-conspirators, John Carlin III, was sentenced in January to 99 years in prison for firing the shots that killed Leppink.
