An Oregon woman has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for her role in a carjacking and attempted murder south of Rock Springs in 2011. Sweetwater County Sheriff Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that 36 year old Jessica Fritts and her husband, 34-year-old Roy Fritts, were arrested near Echo, Utah, on August 14, 2011, following a multi-state crime spree that included carjackings in two states, a shooting in Sweetwater County, and a law enforcement pursuit that culminated in the pair’s capture.
The three camped in the Firehole Canyon area on the night of August 13. The next morning, Roy Fritts shot the 54-year-old Thornell several times with a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol and he and Jessica Fritts left in his van.
Federal District Judge Nancy Freudenthal handed down her sentence in Cheyenne on August 29. Roy Fritts pleaded guilty on July 17th in Green River to the charges of first degree murder and larceny. He is scheduled to be sentenced on October 1st.
