Man to Get 30 Years in Daughter’s Death

A day after pleading guilty to sexual exploitation of children, a man who confessed in Internet chat groups to molesting and killing his daughter pleaded guilty to murder. Under a plea agreement, Larry Froistad Jr., 29, will receive a 30-year sentence for setting the 1995 house fire that killed his daughter, Amanda, 5. A judge in Dickinson, N.D., indicated he would accept the deal. Froistad, a computer programmer, was arrested in San Diego in March after he confessed twice online to setting the blaze that killed Amanda. Investigators identified the girl in a short video seized from Froistad’s computer, which showed her involved in a sex act with an adult.
