A brother and sister from Mississippi were sentenced for seeking to hire a hit man to murder their stepfather for his life insurance proceeds.

Joshua Druid Bryan, 29, and Regan Emily Bryan, 30, learned their fates on Tuesday. Regan Bryan was sentenced to 65 months, or nearly 5 ½ years, in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release.

She pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder for hire. Joshua Bryan was sentenced to 120 months — or 10 years — in prison. He was found guilty in the case in December 2023.
