"It's not over," said Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Trisha Gerard at the sentencing of Erin Justice who shot and killed his wife last summer and remains the only suspect in the disappearance of her two young children.

Justice, 29, who was originally charged with First Degree Premeditated Murder, recently took a plea to Second Degree Murder and, today, he was sentenced to 47 to 82 years in prison.

In court, Justice sat as if he couldn't care less about his former mother-in-law, Travae Fox, shedding tears just feet behind him as she spoke about the woman he killed, the missing children, and her heartache.

"This devil disguised himself as an angel," said Fox as she spoke to the court before sentenced was imposed on the man who killed her daughter.
