Fort Worth (AP) – Prosecutors say a man has been convicted of capital murder for killing his wife and 3 month old son in 2016. The Tarrant County district attorney’s office says 40 year old Craig Vandewege was automatically sentenced to life imprisonment without parole after jurors found him guilty Thursday. Prosecutors noted that Vandewege called 9-1-1 in December, 2016 and said he’d found his wife, 36 year old Shanna Riddle Vandewege, and their son, Diederik, dead at their Fort Worth home. Days later, Craig Vandewege was arrested in Colorado during a traffic stop.
