Miss Jackson. Federal prosecutors said Thursday that a brother and sister from Clinton, Mississippi, were sentenced for their involvement in a murder-for-hire plot to kill their stepfather in order to obtain life insurance money.
Joshua Druid Bryan, 29, was found guilty at trial of both murder for hire and conspiracy to commit murder for hire, and he was sentenced to 120 months in jail. Regan Emily Bryan, 30, his sister, admitted guilt to one count of conspiracy to commit murder for pay and was given a sentence of 65 months in jail.
The siblings attempted to hire a hitman to carry out the murder, according to court records and evidence used in court. Authorities said that both were arrested and charged after an investigation, but they did not elaborate on how the plot was thwarted.
ATF Special Agent in Charge Joshua Jackson and U.S. Attorney Todd W. Gee for the Southern District of Mississippi announced the sentencing and praised their teams for bringing the case to justice.
Following convictions and severe sentences for their murder-for-hire plan, two Mississippi siblings will be transported to federal prison.
