Norfolk native Kelsey Turner was sentenced between 10 and 25 years in prison after accepting a plea deal for the Las Vegas murder of Dr. Thomas Burchard, a psychiatrist that she had an alleged transactional relationship with.
Dr. Thomas Burchard, 71, was found dead in the back of a vehicle that he had allegedly paid for Turner to have after he reportedly tried to end the relationship with Turner and cut her off financially.
Prosecutors alleged that Turner — also known as Badd Barbie — instructed her then-boyfriend, Jon Dennison, to kill Burchard. Dennison then allegedly beat Burchard to death and stuffed his body in the trunk of a car.
After Burchard's death, Turner continued to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from the doctor to pay for her bills.
Turner will be eligible for parole in 10 years.
