Kenoyerreceived her sentence following a guilty plea to the murder of Steven Riley Jr. In addition to her prison term, she is expected to serve 10 years on probation and was ordered to pay $3,455 in restitution to the victim’s family.
The couple had been together for 10 years before the incident. Prosecutors detailed how, days before his death, Riley had received news that he was set to inherit a massive $30 million. Excited to become rich overnight, Riley hashed out plans to meet with a lawyer at an airport to discuss his birthright.
After beingpoisoned, the victim’s friends tried to get him medical attention but Kenoyer went out of her way to prevent him from being sent to a hospital. She argued her husband only had aheat strokeand took him home instead.

Riley had no trace ofalcoholin his system at the time of his death, and no clinic records mentioned him.
Court documents confirmed that Kenoyer had committed the crime, believing she was entitled to a portion of the millionaire inheritance as Riley’s common-law wife. However, the state of North Dakota does not recognize such relationships.
“To have you take away someone so important, it’s just hurtful,” Riley’s son Ryan said in an interview withMinot Daily News.
“I can’t even find the words to describe how I feel and how much it burdens everyone. I wish none of this ever happened. I never expected to lose my dad to something so selfish.”
