A former beauty queen, Peggy Sue Thomas will not be wowing judges or capturing the eyes of approving men anytime soon.

The former Ms. Washington, 47, was sentenced to four years in prison for her role in the murder of Russel Douglas, a former collegaue's husband, ABC News reports. Thomas pleaded guility to rendering criminal assistance in the first degree after accepting a plea bargain in January before she was due to stand trial on a first-degree murder charge.

A winner of a Ms. Washington beauty pageant in 2000, Thomas and then-boyfriend James Huden were accused by prosecutors of plotting to kill Douglas, who was found dead by a gunshot wound in 2003 just two days after Christmas. The body was found in an abandoned car on a rural road, where Thomas was accused of luring Douglas with the promise of a Christmas gift before he was shot to death.

Huden was convicted of first-degree murder for Douglas' death in 2012 and is currently serving out his 80-year sentence in prison. Thomas, who was once married to oil millionaire Mark Allen, "escaped a major-league crime for a minor-league sentence," said Jim Douglas, the victim's father according to The Seattle Times. 

The motive of the murder is still unknown, but Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said Douglas may have been killed because Thomas and Huden believed "he had been abusing his wife and children," reported The Seattle Times. 

Though she did not come clean to the murder when given the chance Friday, the diva claimed she is not the villain she has been made out to be when she accepted her plea bargain in January. "I'm not the woman that's been portrayed in the papers over the last few years," she said. "I would want to tell Russell Douglas and his family that I am so sorry for their loss."
