Woman pleads guilty in Missouri incest case

HARRISONVILLE, Mo. (AP) — A western Missouri woman whose husband fathered four babies with one of the couple’s daughters faces sentencing after pleading guilty to charges of child endangerment and hindering prosecution of a felony.

Online court records show the woman will be sentenced Tuesday. She pleaded guilty Friday in Cass County Circuit Court.

Her husband was sentenced last June to life in prison after he was convicted of second-degree murder and abandonment of a corpse.

Three of the four children the man had with his daughter died, including one whose body was found in a shallow grave near Dustin in eastern Oklahoma where the family apparently lived for a short time.

The Associated Press is not identifying the mother or father to protect the identity of the victims.
