Teen who planned mother's 1999 murder to be released

postandcourier.com

Sarah Nickel, who was 16 when she helped plan her mother’s murder in 1999, is set to be released from prison on April 1, 2025. She was sentenced to 30 years for armed robbery after a jury acquitted her of murder. Nickel and two other teens lured her mother, Nell Crowley Davis, outside her home, where she was killed. The case involved complex testimonies and years of investigation, revealing troubled backgrounds and strained family relationships among the teens. In a recent letter, Nickel admitted to having wanted her mother dead but claimed her actions were influenced by mental illness and drug use. She has since earned her GED and participated in various programs while incarcerated.
