Teen pleads not guilty to killing mother of triplets

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TACOMA -- A teenager has pleaded not guilty to charges that she
strangled a Puyallup woman who befriended her.

Emily Suzanne Lauenborg wept throughout the Friday court hearing where
she pleaded innocent to first- and second-degree murder charges in the
Aug. 31, 2001, death of Dana Laskowski, 36.

Laskowski, mother of 9-year-old triplets, was found strangled in her
home. Pierce County prosecutors say Lauenborg bragged about killing
Laskowski to make people fear or respect her.

Charging documents say the 18-year-old Lauenborg was friends with
Laskowski's teenage niece, and that both girls were involved in street
drugs and stealing to support drug habits.

Laskowski was sympathetic to them and sometimes left her window
unlocked so the teens could come in and do their laundry or shower,
documents say.

Superior Court Judge Frank Cuthbertson ordered Lauenborg held in
Pierce County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail.

Lauenborg, 17 at the time of the slaying, will be tried as an adult
due to the nature of the crime.

Laskowski's mother, Judy Ross, said her daughter was a beloved mother
and sister, who worked as a nanny and taught little children sign
language.

"She was my baby," Ross said. "She was just so gentle."

That's a disgrace and a miscarriage of justice a person usually gets life or 25 years in jail she got a lousy 6 years and didn't even do 6 years cause she came out early on good behavior. How about Danas triplets they have no moms.And her niece could of stopped it she was there u call that family. She betrayed her aunt. She has to live with that guilt.in just really piss cause it feels like she got away with murder any other state aside from Washington she would of got more time. I feel the D.A.s office let Dana down.

who in the fuck was this asshole judge? That was a very liberal sentence for such a brutal crime of betrayal.

Both girls should have got life sentences nothing less. This is disgusting. I feel so sad for Dana's children and family. The justice system is extremely BROKEN!!!!!

This trash is on Facebook looking like she is living life well. Six years.... what a great liberal bastion Washington State has turned into. Both of these pieces of crap should have met Mr Electricity. What a joke! She is on social media acting as if she has done nothing at all. Justice? No Justice at all in our justice system. Criminals and thugs get to set the rules and worthless judges let them.

Where is she on facebook? I was looking for this piece of trash. I live in WA. I would love to find this bitch and have a chat with her.

She's not on Facebook, at least not under her real name. She got such a low sentence because of a plea deal. The DA has nothing against her other than hearsay and some circumstantial evidence.

Now I know where to go if I feel like killing someone.

I saw an article online that said she's happily married with children to a man named Darren Wickman. She's now Mrs. Emily Wickman and renewed her wedding vows 6 years ago and posted pictures smiling and happy with her kids who were in the wedding ceremony. She robbed this beautiful lady of her life with her triplets. She robbed the triplets of the phenomenal mother they loved and adored the first 9 years of their lives. She definitely should have gotten a lot more time than 6 years. An absolute miscarriage of justice!

I just read somewhere that she has divorced (just thought I'd say)
