Understood. I’m beyond angry. It is mind bending unfairness. Evil does exist.

A man does not commit this kind of horrific crime for the first time at the age of 61.
This piece of excrement has done this, or something similar to it, before.
If the police involved are competent, they will be busy compiling a list of his known addresses from over the years and cross-referencing them to disappearances, unidentified bodies and unsolved homicides.
This was sadistic and methodical.

He led investigators to her body Monday in exchange for prosecutors’ agreeing to drop consideration of the death penalty against him, according to Union County District Attorney Stan Gunter.

He’s 61. With the average length of death penalty appeals, he’d probably die in prison of old age before they could execute him.

Thats OK. For about a hundred bucks, they can buy a hit on him within prison.

My idea of hiking is with a concealed handgun and a nice big knife.

Yes, but according to a news report, he won’t face execution.
Since he showed the authorities where her body was, maybe that was the agreement made.
Still ought to kill the son of a bitch, just slowly.

Shows the importance of quick action and notification.
The killer should get the death penalty.
To: RangerM
I agree. I hate bargains like that.

The article mentions that they’re also looking at him for a case in Florida. I bet they’ll find a whole string of cases connected with him in the Southeast.
I also bet he’s been in jail for some kind of sexual offense (or possibly even murder) in the past and was released. They haven’t let out much info about him.

He led investigators to her body Monday in exchange for prosecutors agreeing to drop consideration of the death penalty against him, according to Union County District Attorney Stan Gunter. In this case. But if they can tie him to a different murder, he can get the death penalty for that one.
