Man Sentenced for Murdering Pregnant Wife, Stabbing Daughters Over Desire for Son
Drew Garnier received a 30-year prison sentence with 15 years of probation for the 2024 murder of his five-months-pregnant wife, Samantha, and assault of their two daughters. The attack, stemming from Garnier’s desire for a son, resulted in Samantha’s death and injuries to the children. Judge John Hubbard issued no-contact orders with the daughters until 2056, a request opposed by Garnier. Samantha’s father addressed the court, highlighting the trauma inflicted on his granddaughters and his commitment to their protection.
