Life sentence in 2022 murder of mother
Randy Lansing, age 41 of Aneth, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Tammy Clark on April 23, 2022.
Lansing was found guilty by a federal jury for murder in the second degree while within Indian Country. The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Court Judge David Nuffer.
Clark, a 30-year-old mother of three, was severely beaten and drowned by Lansing in front of her two young daughters.
U.S. Attorney Trina A. Higgins said, “Lansing subjected Clark to an unthinkable level of brutality before her death, all witnessed by her young daughters.
“While no prison sentence can ever make up for the life stolen from Clark’s family, it is our hope her children can continue to heal and move forward after being profoundly impacted by the gravity of Lansing’s crime.”
The case was investigated by the FBI Monticello Resident Agency and Navajo Nation Police Department, Criminal Investigations.
