Vergara was reportedly pronounced dead at the scene. His wife was also found to be injured and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

As the detectives investigated further, they discovered some evidence which suggested that the man had died prior to when police and emergency responders arrived at the crime scene. A firefighter confirmed to the detectives that Vergara’s body was cooler than it should have been if he had died the time it took to respond to the distress call.

In judgment, Hernandez appeared before Judge Michael Christofeno for her sentencing hearing early Thursday morning, January 27, 2022 in Elkhart County Circuit Court.

The judge had in late December 2021 found the woman guilty as charged and convicted her of murder for stabbing her husband to death while in their home in the 23000 block of Florence Avenue on the morning of May 20, 2021.

In pleading guilty, Judge Christofeno asked Hernandez how she killed her husband and she simply replied: “Stab — stab him.”
