   An Illinois man was sentenced to half a century in prison for killing a   
   17-year-old girl he lured to his home by offering to sell her Disney cups.   
      
   Arthur Jensen, 53, who was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder   
   in March, appeared Monday in Iroquois County Circuit Court, where Judge   
   Michael Sabol handed down the sentence, the Daily Journal reported.   
      
   He killed Adara Bunn on Aug. 5, 2019, when she showed up at his home to   
   buy Disney cups left over from a rummage sale she and her mom had attended   
   three days earlier.   
      
   As “a collector of Disney memorabilia, she bought some Pocahontas cups,”   
   Assistant State Attorney Michael Quinlan told People.   
      
   “The victim came back to the Jensen residence on that Sunday wanting to   
   talk to [Jensen’s] wife to see if she had any more memorabilia she could   
   buy,” he said.   
      
   But the wife was out of town and Jensen, who was packing up items with a   
   friend, told her to come back later to buy the cups.   
      
   Neighbors heard screams and called police, who rushed to the scene and   
   encountered the savage killer, who told them outside that “there’s a girl   
   inside and I strangled her,” WCIA reported.   
      
   Bunn’s lifeless body was discovered inside and Jensen was immediately   
   arrested.   
      
   “This is one of the worst murder cases I have ever seen,” Quinlan told   
   People. “This was a young girl about to enter her junior year in a couple   
   of weeks. She was a straight-A student who was hoping to become a   
   veterinarian.”   
      
   At the sentencing, the judge gave Jensen credit for three years he’s   
   already served in custody — leaving him with 47 more years to spend in the   
   slammer.   
      
   Bunn, whose nickname was Sissy, “enjoyed reading, fishing, school amongst   
   other things. She was an all around joy to everyone around her,” according   
   to her obituary.   
      
   The Milford Area Public School said at the time of her death that the   
   “community is grieving after hearing of the death of one of our high   
   school students … We are suffering as a staff, student body, and community   
   for this loss,” WCIA reported.
