Papalas received the following consecutive sentences:
– 246 months for second-degree murder
– 38 months for one count of aggravated endangering a child
– 19 months for a second count of aggravated endangering a child
– She was charged following an incident on Aug. 25, 2024, when Papalas fled law enforcement in Atchison County in a 2014 Toyota Corolla.
According to a Kansas Highway Patrol report, she was driving at a high speed when she lost control on a curve, causing the vehicle to roll multiple times and land on its roof.
A 1-year-old child passenger died as a result of the crash. Papalas was hospitalized with injuries.
