TAMPA — A 54-year-old mother surrendered to authorities Monday to begin serving a two-year prison sentence for attempting to kill her 12-year-old daughter in the middle of a custody dispute.
Nancy Lowe accepted a plea deal a week ago that also calls for five years of probation.
In May of 2013, neighbors noticed smoke pouring out of a Citrus Park home and rushed in to find Lowe, her daughter, and suicide notes left for others to find.
Lowe, whose parental rights have been terminated, was sentenced Monday by Hillsborough Circuit Judge William Fuente.
