MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ A drifter accused of helping her gang torture an 11-year-old boy and kill his mother is set to be sentenced this week.

Twenty-four-year-old Candace Clark faces nearly 130 years in prison when she goes before Judge Alan J. White in Portage on Friday.

Clark and her gang moved across the country stealing people's identities.

Police caught up to them in Portage, where they discovered the boy locked naked in a closet in the gang's rented house. He had been severely abused.
They found his mother, Tammie Garlin, buried in the backyard.

Clark pleaded no contest to being a party to reckless homicide and guilty to being a party to child abuse and other related charges.
