PEORIA, Ill. x--15s. The family of a Chinese scholar abducted and killed by an Illinois man says it doesn't agree with a jury's decision to sentence him to life in prison rather than death. Ronggao Zhang, the father of Yingying Zhang, delivered a statement translated into English after a jury sentenced his daughter's killer, Brendt Christensen, to life in prison without parole. Ronggao Zhang appealed to Christensen to reveal where her body is so that the family can take her remains back to China.
("..our torment.") (SOURCE:ABC)

TAG: A federal jury was unable to agree whether to impose the death penalty on Christensen, meaning that he will serve life in prison without parole.
