Man Sentenced for Killing Mother Over Life Insurance Payout

A man in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison for the murder of his mother. David Lombardo pleaded guilty to third-degree murder after the investigation revealed that he strangled her to death in her home. Authorities discovered her body, which was in a state of asphyxiation, leading to a homicide ruling. Lombardo showed no remorse and allegedly expressed interest in collecting his mother's life insurance policy soon after her death. His wife's testimony in court indicated he confessed to committing the murder for financial gain, specifically to access her $5,000 life insurance policy.
