A Mount Pleasant, Michiogan man serving up to 15 years for beating his girlfriend is going to serve life for beating her to death, then dumping her body in a shallow grave.
Isabella County Trial Judge Mark H. Duthie on Thursday handed the life term to Gordon D. Schultz, the 46-year-old convicted of first-degree murder Jan. 11 in the beating death of Becky S. MacDonald in 2005.
MacDonald, 43, disappeared Nov. 11, 2005, from her home near Winn. She had worked as a caregiver for an Alzheimer's patient.
After Schultz killed MacDonald and concealed her remains, the Midland man attempted to strike a deal with an undercover officer to kill MacDonald's daughter.
The undercover officer obtained information which led to MacDonald's remains in the AuSable State Forest in Midland County's Edenville Township. Schultz is currently serving a 46 month to 15 year sentence for 3rd offence domestic violence, and had other convictions for destruction of property and carrying a concealed weapon.
