A Minnesota father, Michael Lee Laflex, 46, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the brutal murder of his daughter's allegedly abusive boyfriend, Bryce Brogle. Laflex was found guilty on one count of first-degree premeditated murder and another of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Brogle in April.
The incident came to light when Laflex's daughter reported her boyfriend missing to the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office on Oct. 28, 2022. She mentioned that her boyfriend was last seen accompanying her father to a storage unit that Laflex had rented just two days earlier.
