A New York man who admitted to fatally stabbing his pregnant wife and severely injuring his 6- and 9-year-old daughters has received a 30-year prison sentence.

Following Drew Garnier’s three-decade incarceration, he will face 15 years of post-release supervision, and he is prohibited from contacting his daughters until at least 2056, according to the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office.

Samantha Garnier and the couple’s unborn daughter were killed in the stabbing on September 4, 2024. Drew Garnier admitted to manslaughter and aggravated assault in March after reaching an agreement that District Attorney Shawn J. Smith acknowledged wasn’t perfect but “spared the children the trauma of trial and would permit them to focus on recovering from their ordeal.”

Samantha Garnier’s father, who has adopted the surviving daughters, read an impact statement at the sentencing hearing saying he believed his son-in-law killed his daughter upon learning that their child was another girl. “He had wanted a boy,” the father said.

Of his granddaughters, he said, “I am their father now. I will protect them.”

Garnier had requested that Judge John L. Hubbard allow him to contact the girls, but he agreed with the DA’s objection and granted “full stay away orders with expiration dates in the year 2056.”
