A Colorado man has been sentenced to prison for up to five years for disposing of the body of a woman after she died of a drug overdose at a Utah motel.

Raymond Cordova, 50, of Grand Junction, Colo., had pleaded guilty in 3rd District Court to third-degree felony counts of desecration of a human body and obstructing justice in connection with the 2014 death of 18-year-old Kelly Mae Myers, also of Grand Junction.

On Monday, Judge Elizabeth Hruby-Mills ordered the two prison terms to run concurrently to each other, but consecutively to a sentence Cordova is presently serving at a Colorado prison.
