### The Case That Gripped Michigan

Ramsay Scrivo was reported missing in late January 2014. Within days, county crews and deputies discovered multiple bags containing human remains along rural roads in St. Clair County. Among the grim evidence was an electric saw found inside one of the bags. Authorities quickly identified the remains as those of Ramsay Scrivo, according to reports by Reuters.

### Contradictory Defense Claims

During the trial, Donna Scrivo presented a competing narrative. She claimed that a masked, armed intruder had killed Ramsay, then held her hostage for several days, forcing her to move the bags containing the remains. Despite this testimony, the jury did not accept her version of events, as reported by CBS News.

### Trial, Verdict, and Sentence

In May 2015, after brief deliberations, a Macomb County jury found Donna Scrivo guilty of first-degree premeditated murder and mutilation of a body. The prosecution’s case included evidence related to the electric saw, the scene at the condo, her movements in the days following Ramsay’s death, and phone records aligning with the timeline of events, according to the *Detroit Free Press*.

Currently, Donna Scrivo is serving her life sentence at the Huron Valley Complex for Women, as listed by the Michigan Department of Corrections.
