Wife and firefighter lover sentenced to prison for killing ‘swinger’ husband

In this episode of True Crime Daily Updates: Robert and Sabrina Limon's marriage took a step in a new direction when they became “swingers” with their best friends, but soon Sabrina became convinced Robert was having a one-on-one affair with the other woman, Kelly.

Then, everything changed when Sabrina met the handsome 22-year-old firefighter Jonathan Hearn while working her part-time job at Costco. The two fell head over heels for each other and began an illicit affair even though Sabrina was 11 years older than her new beau.

Soon, Sabrina and Jonathan’s love affair turned deadly as they plotted to kill Robert. They discussed different ways to get him out of the picture, including poisoning his pudding with arsenic. Eventually, they settled on a plan: On August 17, 2014, Jonathan went to the railyard where Robert worked and shot him to death.

In 2017, Jonathan agreed to plead guilty to several lesser charges in exchange for testifying against Sabrina. Prosecutors dropped the first-degree murder charge against him and he was sentenced to 25 years and four months in prison.

A year later, Sabrina was convicted of murder, conspiracy, solicitation to commit murder, and other crimes, and was and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. A judge denied her appeal for a new trial.

In 2020, Sabrina’s attorney argued her conviction should be overturned, but she’s still serving time in a California State Prison.

Now, let’s take a look back at the case that shocked a small community and the family and friends of everyone involved.
