A 74-year-old man has confessed to killing his son-in-law in North Carolina on the 24th anniversary of the crime.
Maj. Tom Effler of the Wayne County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina says Allen Deaver admitted to authorities Feb. 7 to killing Sydney Maurice Gregory on Feb. 7, 1993.
Gregory, who was in his 20s, was beaten and left inside a mobile home that was set on fire in Seven Springs, North Carolina.
A Wayne County grand jury indicted Deaver on Wednesday on a charge of first-degree murder. Effler says deputies from the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office arrested him on a fugitive warrant Wednesday and he's being held in Louisiana without bond at the parish jail.
Effler says an extradition hearing was planned Thursday.
