A serial killer was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a Native woman and to three additional life sentences for three other murders in British Columbia.

Cynthia Frances Maas, 35, was reported missing by her family in September 2010. Her body was found a few weeks later at a park in Prince George.

Last week, a jury convicted Cody Alan Legebokoff, 24, of the crime. He also was convicted of the murders of 15-year-old Loren Leslie, 23-year-old Natasha Montgomery and 35-year-old Jill Stuchenko.

All of the victims were killed in 2009 and 2010. Stuchenko was the first victim when Legebokoff was 19 years old.
