Suspected serial killer Scott Lee Kimball was sentenced today to 70 months in federal prison for being a felon in possession of firearms.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger said the sentence must be served consecutive to any state sentence that he may receive.
Kimball is suspected in the deaths of four people but has not been charged with any homicides. He has provided information to investigators about where the bodies might be found.
After Kimball briefed investigators, the remains of Leann Emry were found in the Book Cliffs of southeastern Utah on March 11.
Emry, Kaysi McLeod, Jennifer Marcum and Terry Kimball were all last seen with Scott Kimball in 2003 and 2004. McLeod’s remains were recovered in a remote area of Jackson County in June 2008. The remains of Jennifer Marcum and Terry Kimball, who was Kimball’s uncle, have not been found.
Kimball already is serving a 48-year state sentence on charges of theft and being a habitual criminal.
The judge noted that Kimball now has 18 criminal convictions, 10 of which are felonies, and nine of which involve fraud or deception.
Kimball pleaded guilty to the federal charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
