RALEIGH, N.C. - A North Carolina woman will spend an extra 20 years behind bars for trying to feed her husband's ex-girlfriend to alligators.

Amanda Hayes and her husband, Grant Ruffin Hayes III, were convicted of killing and dismembering 27-year-old Laura Ackerson more than three years ago in Raleigh after a long custody dispute over Grant’s two oldest children.

Prosecutors said Ackerson’s body was cut up with a power saw and driven to Amanda’s sister’s house in Texas.

According to prosecutors, new details show that Amanda tried to dissolve Ackerson’s remains with acid before dumping them into an alligator-infested creek.

Last week, Amanda was convicted of tampering with evidence and sentenced to an additional 20-year sentence on top of her life sentence in North Carolina.

Grant was sentenced to 13-16 years in prison.

Where are the PETA charges for feeding acid-soaked human remains to alligators?

Gators don’t do acid, man.

Wow. Grant sure is a ruffin.

Hard to believe the depths of human depravity.

Amanda watched one too many episodes of Breaking Bad and a few too many episodes of Swamp People.

What a horrible, crazy crime.
A..I guess it never occurred to either of them that anyone who would kill and dismember the mother of his children would not be a fit parent anyway.

B..Any person who would assist in that type of murder is very likely to do the same to their new partner when the going gets rough.

C..It also never occurred to them that dumping body parts in acid before offering them to crocs was not a good idea.
The reptiles probably didn’t want them either.

You can’t feed gators acid-treated human flesh. It isn’t good for them.

Not much different than serving lutefisk to humans.
