Brooklyn Park woman gets 32 years in prison, husband gets 12½ for malnourished, neglected foster child's death

Arianna Hunziker was a chubby and happy toddler before she went into foster care, where she lost 10 pounds in about a year and died while wrapped in bed sheets closed off in a room alone.

Foster parents Sherrie Dirk and her husband, Bryce Dirk, each pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree unintentional murder in the 3-year-old's 2017 death. They were sentenced Tuesday after strong rebukes from Arianna's paternal grandparents.
