Cornett is currently serving a sentence of life without parole at the
Tennessee Prison For Women in Nashville. Cornett, then 19, was convicted
in March 1998 with five other youths in the notorious Lillelid murders.
The youths, aged 14 to 20, had left Pikeville, Kentucky, headed to New
Orleans. By chance, they met the Lillelid family at an interstate
highway rest area where they carjacked the family for their van. The
youths drove the Lillelids to a remote side road where mother, father
and daughter were shot dead and the son was left wounded. This crime
took place on April 6, 1997 near the town of Greeneville in the eastern
part of Tennessee. Two days after the shootings Cornett and the five
others were taken into custody by US Customs and Immigration officials
in Arizona while trying to cross into Mexico in the stolen van.
