Pierceton Man Gets Life Without Parole

A judge followed a jury’s recommendation yesterday and sentenced a 35-year-old Pierceton man to life in prison without parole for murdering his girlfriend’s two-year-old daughter. The jury had convicted Ian Clark last month of beating Samantha Muchowicz to death in May of last year. It happened in the Ridinger Lake home of the child’s mother, where Clark also lived.
