Authorities dropped charges against a man who was accused of killing his wife 30 years ago, saying another man has confessed to the murder.
Investigators said Beasley, who they described as a former friend of the couple, admitted to the killing on Sunday, a day before the victim's husband, Carl Harris Jr., was scheduled to stand trial for her murder. The Dale County District Attorney's decision to drop charges against Harris was announced on his 55th birthday.
Dale County District Attorney Kirke Adams speaks about dropping murder charges against Carl Harris Jr. for the 1990 death of his wife during a news conference at Ozark City Hall, Ala., Monday, Jan. 13, 2020. Also shown are Jordan Davis, from right, Michael Bryant and Jimmy Culbreth. Authorities dropped charges against a man arrested in the slaying of his wife after another suspect admitted to the 1990 killing on the eve of the trial, prosecutors said Monday.
He did not offer details about Beasley's confession, but said his office interviewed Beasley's ex-wife, who shared new information that led detectives to Beasley. Investigators have not revealed a motive. "The new evidence was information that had never been shared before," Walker said Monday."The suspect gave details about the crime that only the killer would know."
