Washington Woman Sentenced to 40 Years for Mom's Murder

Christine Roush of Washington was sentenced Wednesday to 40 years in prison for the July 2017 stabbing death of her biological mother. According to the McLean County Circuit Clerk's Office, Roush was sentenced for killing Teresa Poehlman of East Peoria. Poehlman's body was found in a wooded area of the Funks Grove Nature Preserve with multiple stab wounds.
Roush pleaded guilty to the murder charges last December. Co-defendant Matthew Isbell, 22, of Marquette Heights, will stand trial in May in connection with Poehlman's death.
