A Missouri prison nurse who fatally poisoned her husband after falling in love with a convicted killer learned this week she’ll be spending the next 12 years behind bars.

Amy Murray, 47, accepted a deal from Alford prosecutors, entering a plea to murder, arson and tampering with evidence charges on June 25, according to court records.

In Alford, when a defendant pleads, they accept a conviction, but maintain their innocence.

Amy Murray fell in love with a prisoner and killed her husband to be with him.

A judge sentenced Murray to 12 years on the murder charge along with 7 years for the arson, and 4 years for tampering with evidence.

All of the sentences will run concurrently.

Murray killed her husband, 37-year-old Joshua, in late 2018.

He was found dead in the smoldering remnants of a house fire his wife had set.

Authorities learned Joshua’s blood contained elevated amounts of antifreeze, and three months after his death, arrested his wife, according to an affidavit.

Murray, the couple’s child and their two dogs had left their home in Iberia just 30 minutes prior to the start of the fire.

Investigators soon learned Murray had frequent contact with a prisoner named Eugene Claypool.

Murray worked as a nurse at the Jefferson City Correctional Center, where Claypool’s serving 25 years to life for murder, the affidavit said.

In recorded calls, Murray told Claypool she was tired of her marriage.

After her husband’s death, Murray told the inmate they could get married now that Joshua was “out of the picture.”
