SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- A Southern California woman was sentencedto life in prison Friday for helping her lover, former NFLlinebacker and one-time Greenwich resident Eric Naposki , murder her live-in millionaire boyfriend for financial gainnearly two decades ago. Nanette Ann Packard , 46, was convicted of murder earlier this year in the cold caseslaying of William Francis McLaughlin , who made his fortune in medical technologies and was shot dead inhis kitchen in December 1994. Packard was living with the much older McLaughlin when he wasmurdered, but the divorced mother of two was also dating Naposki, aformer linebacker for the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts who worked as a bouncer at a nearby nightclub. He played collegefootball at the University of Connecticut. Packard convinced Naposki to kill McLaughlin, gave him a key to thevictim's house and told him when he would be home, prosecutorssaid. She stood to collect $1 million on a life insurance policy andreceive $150,000 and free rent for a year at one of his homes ifMcLaughlin died, authorities said. Packard ended up stealing at least $500,000 from McLaughlin'sestate both before and after his death, Matt Murphy , deputy district attorney, said during trial. She pleaded guilty to grand theft in 1996 and was sentenced to ayear in jail, but the murder case went cold. Investigators long suspected Packard and Naposki, however, and newtechnology to identify the weapon along with a new witness allowedprosecutors to file murder charges in 2009, prosecutors have said. In May 20, 2009, Naposki was arrested near his Weaver Street homein Greenwich during a "high-risk" motor vehicle stop. Naposki wassoon extradited to California to face the murder charge there. McLaughlin's adult daughters spoke at the sentencing hearing Fridayin Orange County Superior Court. "The fact that you, Nanette, destroyed so many lives, including myDad's, is vile. .. You had absolutely no right to take him from usfor your own selfish reasons. He was incredibly good to you forfour whole years," said daughter Kim McLaughlin Bayless . Naposki, 45, was convicted of first-degree murder last July. His sentencing has been postponed until Aug. 10.
