Sara Pientka
STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — The woman accused of failing to report her sister’s murder is scheduled to be sentenced for misdemeanor charges of obstructing an officer and failure to report a crime.
Sara Pientka is accused of withholding information on the death of her sister, Jeanette Pientka, back in July. She’s accused of leaving the scene of the stabbing, then telling officers she had no information regarding the incident.
Investigators say Sara and her boyfriend, Lyndon Hood, had just been evicted from their home. Hood admitted to stabbing Jeanette, while Sara pulled him off the victim, then fled the scene.
A visitor then found Jeanette at the scene and called for help. Attempts to revive her failed, and she died at the scene.
The plea and sentencing hearing is scheduled for 2:45 PM. Hood is facing one count of intentional homicide and is due in court for an adjourned initial appearance on September 3rd.
