A North Dakota man was sentenced Monday to life in prison for conspiring to kidnap a baby that his girlfriend had cut from their neighbor’s body and lying to police about it, a sentence that didn’t entirely satisfy the slain woman’s mother.
William Hoehn, 33, will have a chance at parole under the sentence handed down by state Judge Tom Olson.
“We want justice. He deserves a life sentence. I don’t think this man should ever walk free,” said Norberta Greywind, mother of 22-year-old Savanna Greywind of Fargo. “He betrayed our family. He looked us in the eye with a straight face while our daughter lay dead in his apartment. Please don’t ever consider letting him out.”

Hoehn denied knowing anything about Crews’ plan to kill Greywind and take her baby. But he admitted to hiding the newborn and giving false information to law enforcement to cover up the crime.
Hoehn apologized during the hearing, saying “the short answer is there is no good short answer.”
William Hoehn pled guilty to two charges of  conspiracy to commit murder of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, a 22-year-old whose baby was cut from her womb, was  sentenced to life in prison Monday, Oct. 29, 2018 in District Court in Fargo, N.D.

Hoehn had faced a maximum 21 years behind bars on the conspiracy and lying counts, but Olson on Monday granted prosecutors’ request to label Hoehn a dangerous offender, enhancing his maximum sentence to life with the possibility of parole.
Defense attorney Daniel Borgen, who had asked for a seven-year prison sentence, could not immediately be reached for comment.

Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents the Greywind family, criticized the police investigation in remarks outside the courtroom Monday.
“How could the police have searched and failed to find Savanna’s body and the baby earlier? These questions demand answers,” she said.
Fargo Police Chief David Todd has defended the investigation, saying officers during their initial searches were looking for a missing person, not a hidden body. He also has said his department dedicated dozens of personnel to the case that included the use of airplanes, boats and police dogs.
