Woman sentenced to life in prison for stabbing her neighbor through the eye and cooking his remains

She was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole Friday for the murder of 36-year-old James Sheaffer. Stoldt and Sheaffer argued over money before the attack at a cemetery April 3, 2013.

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

She wrapped Sheaffer's head in plastic to prevent blood leaking in her car and transported the corpse to her house, prosecutors said. Stoldt cooked the man's limbs on the stove in an attempt to cremate the body, police said.

 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 

The mother told her daughter, now 16, and her son, now 18, she was disposing of a dead deer. She even recruited her son to help dump the body parts in the trash. Investigators do not know if Stoldt and Sheaffer were involved in a romantic relationship, Assistant State Attorney Heatha Trigones told the Daytona Beach News-Journal

Stoldt's attorney filed a motion claiming that the woman was in fear for her life because Sheaffer was threatening to kill her and her two children

 Sheaffer, a limo driver, allegedly attacked Stoldt while sitting in her car and would not let go of her until she wrapped a cord around his neck

Stoldt had a boyfriend in Texas and was separated from her husband. Stoldt said Sheaffer attacked her and she acted in self-defense.
