A Mississippi woman recently pleaded guilty to the murder of a man she met after talking on Snapchat, District Attorney shared. 

Sierra Jane Inscoe, 22, was sentenced to 40 years for fatally shooting 24-year-old Carson Sistrunk, and then dumping his body in a Jefferson Davis County oilfield, WDAM7 reported.

Hal Kittrell, Fifteenth Circuit District Attorney, said Inscoe was sentenced shortly after pleading guilty to the 2022 murder, WDAM7 reported.

Kitrell stated that 35 years in the sentence would be "served without the possibility of parole or early release," People reported. 

Circuit Court Judge, Richelle Lumpkin, handed down the sentence,  WDAM7 reported.

Sistrunk was reported missing on Tuesday, September 4, 2022, The Prentiss Headlight reported. Three days later his body was discovered by pipeline workers along Gulf Camp Road in Newhebron, Mississippi.

One of the victim's family members informed police that Sistrunk had gone missing after meeting with a woman he was communicating with on Snapchat.

Inscoe became a person of interest in the murder case after she was caught by police driving the victim's truck, The Prentiss Headlight reported.

Mississippi Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Inscoe for driving a car that wasn’t registered in her name on September 11, 2022, WDAM7 reported.

In August 2023, Inscoe was indicted by a grand jury for murder charges and denied bond on September 14, 2022, the Prentiss Headlight reported. As per the outlet she was transferred to the Rankin County Detention Center, where she remained during her trial.

No reason for murder has been revealed to the public, People reported.

"I would like to thank all of the local and state law enforcement agencies that worked together investigating this case," Kittrell said. "Thanks to their hard work, we were able to take a violent individual off the streets and show that there are severe consequences for those who do harm to others in Jefferson Davis County," Kittrell said.
