However, on Sept. 30, Silver was given five life sentences without parole and an additional 30 years “to be served consecutively.”

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley emphasized the extensive effort put into the case and assured everyone that the victims will always be remembered.

“This case took several years of hard work by law enforcement, and this demonstrates victims will not be forgotten in Cuyahoga County,” said Prosecutor Michael O’Malley, per Cleveland19.

“You have destroyed four families and five lives, and for what? I will never be the same. I have to take anxiety medicine. Sometimes I eat, sometimes I don’t,” Tammy Quitman said.
