"As the investigation unfolded, authorities arrested Maiben on charges of larceny over $1,200, tampering with evidence, and obstruction. He was later charged with Pringle's murder and pleaded not guilty. In a pretrial motion, prosecutors suggested Pringle was upset with Maiben and planning to end their relationship. According to the court filing, Pringle sent one of her friends a series of text messages shortly before she died"
""This verdict and subsequent sentence will ensure that the defendant will be held accountable for his senseless and atrocious conduct," Essex District Attorney Paul F. Tucker said Wednesday. "Our hope is that the family and friends of Sherell Pringle can find some comfort in this outcome." Pringle was reported missing by family members on Dec. 19, 2021, after she didn't return home from a date with Maiben."
Bruce Maiben, 48, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole for the 2021 death of Sherell Pringle. Pringle was reported missing by family members on Dec. 19, 2021 after she did not return home from a date with Maiben; her body was found off Route 107 in the Rumney Marsh Reservation days before Christmas. Investigators arrested Maiben on larceny, tampering with evidence, and obstruction charges and later added the murder charge; he pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors alleged Pringle planned to end the relationship and sent texts indicating she was done with Maiben after an alleged break-in and knife threat; defense attorneys disputed that Maiben knew of the breakup or would have reacted violently. Pringle's then-teenage son remembered her as a strong, independent woman.
