A man who prosecutors said faked his love for his Alaska surgeon boyfriend will spend the rest of his life in prison for poisoning the man with a fatal cocktail of drugs and having 4,000 pounds of his valuables shipped to his home in Washington state, where he called police to report he was worried for his partner’s welfare.

Jordan Joplin, 39, was sentenced to a maximum of 99 years in prison for the 2017 killing of his romantic partner of six years, Eric Garcia, 58. A jury found Joplin guilty last year of first and second-degree murder and first-degree theft.
