LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — A 38-year-old man has been sentenced in the death of a Leavenworth man who was stabbed more than 25 times. Jeffery Samulczyk was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 25 years. He pleaded guilty in January to felony murder in the death of Joshua Gilson, whose body was found wrapped in plastic in the basement of his Leavenworth home in October 2020. Investigators found text messages between Samulczyk and Gilson’s wife discussing the murder and how to cover it up. Gilson’s wife, Alexandra, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last year and was also sentenced to life in prison.
