Man Convicted In Death Of Mansfield Neighbor Gets Life In Prison

Richland County Sheriff's Office

The Richland County man convicted in the slaying and dismemberment of a neighbor has been sentenced to life in prison. 54-year-old Walter Renz was sentenced Monday in the July 2015 death of 62-year-old Patsy Hudson, whose body parts were found last February. Renz and co-defendant Linda Buckner-Blehar, who earlier received the same sentence, plotted to steal from Hudson and traveled the country using her bank card.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
