Spokane – A 65-year-old transgender woman has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the 1990 slayings of three women who worked as prostitutes.
Donna Perry was sentenced Monday in Spokane County Superior Court. Perry was known as Douglas Perry before undergoing sex reassignment surgery in 2000, which prosecutors contended was done to avoid suspicion in the deaths.
She was convicted in the killings of Yolanda Sapp, 26, Nickie Lowe, 34, and Kathy Brisbois, 38. They were all shot during a four-month span in 1990.
