Life in prison: Angela Stoldt, 42, of Deltona, showed no remorse in court Friday as she was sentenced to life for murdering, dismembering and disposing neighbor James Sheaffer, 36, following a dispute about money
Quote:
A Florida mom convicted of cooking her neighbor after stabbing, strangling and dismembering him following an apparent money has been sentenced to life in prison.
Angela Stoldt, 42, will now die behind behind bars after being sentenced in Volusia County on Friday, but showed no remorse as the decision was handed down.
Authorities say Stoldt tried to cremate 36-year-old James Sheaffer's body in April 2013 by putting several body parts in an oven and in pots on the stove, including a foot, a leg and both arms.
When that didn't work, she put his body parts in bags and had her teenage children help her scatter them in different places near their home in Deltona, telling them she was trying to dispose of a deer she had hit with the car.

Court documents obtained by Daytona News-Journal previously showed Sheaffer, a married father of three, had asked Stoldt to act as the payee on his Social Security disability benefits, but he kept overdrawing their joint account.
He also wanted Stoldt to ask her father for a $4,000 loan.
Stoldt relied on their financial relationship for money, but the two were platonic.
On the morning of April 3, 2013, Stoldt, with her two children in tow, picked up her neighbor from his work at Blue Diamond Limousines and drove to her home on Horseshoe Terrace, where the two drank vodka and peach schnapps cocktails.
But according to court filings, the mother of two spiked her neighbor's beverage with a prescription pain medication, which she had stolen from her father knowing that it causes drowsiness, especially when mixed with alcohol.
Stoldt then allegedly loaded the drugged man into her car and drove to the Osteen Cemetery after dropping the kids off at her parents'.

Husband and father: Sheaffer, who was married with three kids, was stabbed in the eye and then strangled; police were never able to locate all of his remains
Quote:
While Stoldt had previously claimed Sheaffer 'came at her and said that he was going to kill Ms. Stoldt as well as her children', according to her strand-your-ground, Prosecutor Ryan Will told the jury she had planned to kill Sheaffer all along.
She reached to the backseat for the ice pick and stabbed Sheaffer in the right eye.
She then grabbed a cord with two handles and used it to strangle Sheaffer by wrapping it tightly around his neck, Will said.
After the man stopped moving, the mother grabbed the ice pick again and drove it through Sheaffer's left eye.
She then wrapped the man's head in Saran Wrap to keep him from bleeding all over the car interior.
The News-Journal reported that Stoldt had bought the plastic, as well as rubber gloves, from Wal-Mart just hours before the killing.
She then drove home, with Sheaffer's corpse propped up in the passenger seat, the ice pick still protruding from his face.
Will said Stoldt then drove to her home and parked in the garage, where she cut up Sheaffer's body using a knife and a saw.
She then moved the body parts one by one into her kitchen.
She took him into the house piece by piece. ... The very same house she shares with her two teenage children and she cooked him in her oven and stove. She started with the oven but when the smoke and smell became unbearable she realized that she might get caught,' Will told the court.
Thats when Stoldt allegedly began boiling some parts on the stove.
Sheaffer's head and torso were not found, testified Dr. Marie Herrmann, the medical examiner for Volusia County.
However a soup pot was recovered that contained Sheaffer's thigh bone, knee cap and some soft tissue, Hermann testified.
Stoldt dumped other mutilated body parts in trash bags and disposed of them with the help of her teenage son, who was led to believe that they were getting rid of a deer his mother had killed with her car the night before.
