A woman has been sentenced to six years in prison for kidnapping her 4-year-old daughter and fleeing to Mexico for 12 years after the girl's father was awarded custody.

Dara Llorens was sentenced Wednesday in state district court in Austin, having pleaded guilty to felony charges arising from the abduction of Sabrina Allen, whose case was twice profiled on the television show "America's Most Wanted." Llorens must serve two years before becoming eligible for parole.
