Adams County Judge Thomas Campbell imposed a 25–50 year prison term on Christopher Speelman, 59, on Thursday. According to a news release from Adams County District Attorney Brian Sinnett, he entered a guilty plea to a charge of third-degree murder and robbery and a not guilty plea to a charge of rape.

The victim's family might not have ever obtained any closure measures for this exceptionally heinous and violent attack on their loved one if it weren't for the diligent efforts of investigators and those involved in the genealogy research in this case.

In July 2021, Speelman confessed to the horrific murder when DNA evidence linked him to the killing of Laughman.
