A New Hampshire woman was sentenced to prison time on Monday for her role
in a 2015 murder where the victim was found burned near MBTA train tracks, according to authorities.
47-year-old Shannon Squires pleaded guilty to one count each of
manslaughter and kidnapping in the murder of 29-year-old Ashley Bortner
from New Jersey. Squires was sentenced to serve 8-10 years in state prison followed by 5 years probation under the order of Judge William Sullivan.
She has been incarcerated since November 2015.
The Plymouth County DA’s Office says on November 3, 2015, Bridgewater
Police received a report of a fire burning alongside MBTA train tracks
just before midnight. Arriving officers determined it was a human body on
fire, later identified as Bortner.
According to investigators, Bortner’s body had been burned over 70
percent, she had been gagged by clothing, her face wrapped in a towel and
her hands and feet bound behind her.
Three people, including Squires, faced charges for Bortner’s murder.
Fernando Owens, who had fled to the Dominican Republic immediately after
the killing, was convicted of her murder in June 2023. He was sentenced to
life in prison. Authorities say Owens believed Bortner had somehow played
a role in the Suffolk County murder of his son.
48-year-old Julian Squires, a co-defendant in this case, was charged for
his role in assisting Owens to kill and dispose of Bortner’s body, the
DA’s office says. He is serving life in prison.
