An Altoona woman is being sentenced to 15 years in prison for a homicide she committed almost three years ago.
On Tuesday, Tracy Clark pleaded no contest to an amended charge of reckless homicide for being involved in the murder of 79-year-old Dennis Schattie. In 2022, Schattie’s body was found decapitated in the Rock River in Rockford, Illinois. Clark lived in the 79-year-old’s home and investigators believe her and her boyfriend committed the murder for financial gain. Clark was originally facing a charge for intentional homicide. On top of her 15-year prison sentence, she was also ordered to serve ten years of extended supervision and seven and half years of probation.
