Also, she eats sandwich; paints cabinets Robin's Egg blue

Why is this news? Did her ex survive? She doesn't get parole, yet she gets to live in her own place? So I take it that her ex, probably having killed his first wife, got her to get out of jail early.

There seems like there should be a lot more to this story, then her moving. Yet again, it creates more questions, than answers.

Woman convicted of hiring hit-men to kill husband moves to apartment

Donna Yaklich was found guilty and sentenced to 40 years in prison for hiring two men to kill her husband, Pueblo Police Det. Dennis Yaklich, in 1985.

She was released to community corrections and a half-way house in February 2006, after a 9Wants to Know investigation aired in September 2005 regarding the "suspicious" death of Det. Yaklich's first wife.

Det. Dennis Yaklich was previously married to Barbara Yaklich who died February 14, 1977. The medical examiner at the time determined she died of natural causes.

Because of continuing rumors about how Barbara Yaklich died, 9Wants to Know asked two metro area forensic pathologists to examine Yaklich's autopsy results.

Dr. Tom Henry from Denver and Dr. Michael Doberson from Arapahoe County, both chief coroners, concluded Yaklich's death was from blunt force trauma, not natural causes. The blunt force trauma could have been caused from either an auto accident or a kick or a punch to the stomach area.

Barbara Yaklich was home at the time she died and according to the forensic pathologists would have bled to death within 20 to 30 minutes. The only known adult home with her at the time was her husband, Dennis.

Following the 9Wants To Know report, Pueblo County Sheriff Dan Corsentino appointed a statewide task force which came back with the results of the "suspicious" death as part of their examination. Two forensic pathologists concluded Barbara's death was a homicide.

After the 9Wants To Know investigation, Det. Yaklich's second wife Donna was released to a half-way house in February, after being refused parole twice.

Donna Yaklich is now on a 3-year intensive supervision and has moved into her own apartment as of Wednesday night.

Yacklich says she is sorry for all that has happened, but she is very glad that her life has a new beginning.
