Who is Amber Hilberling?
Amber Hilberling was 19 and pregnant when her husband fell 17 floors to his death through a window in 2011.
Amber was arrested one day later but was not tried and charged until April 2013.
She admitted to her grandmother that she had pushed him out of the window, while the police were secretly recording, which led to her prosecution.
She was prosecuted after the birth of her son, Levi.
Is Amber still in prison?
Amber was charged with a second-degree murder sentence of 25-years.
She was serving her sentence out at the Mabel Bassett Correctional Centre in Oklahoma.
However, she took her own life on October 24th, 2016.
Not much has been released about her passing, but her family sued the DOC in July 2018 claiming not enough had been done to prevent her death.
