A Caldwell County man who admitted killing his girlfriend two years ago will serve more than 9 years in prison.
A Superior Court judge in Lenoir on Monday sentenced Bryan Keith Hoyle, 35, to a minimum of 114 months, or more than nine years, and a maximum of 12 years, said Lt. Chris Brackett of the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office.
Hoyle admitted to the Sept. 24, 2004, slaying of 27-year-old Elizabeth Christina Runion and pleaded guilty to a second murder charge, Brackett said.
Runion disappeared in late September 2004. Her body was found wrapped in a blanket and partially covered by brush eight months later near Globe Road in northern Caldwell County, Brackett said.
