A Man Who Was Recently Executed For Killing His Wife Confessed to Murdering His Sister-in-Law
The Mississippi man put to death on November 17 for the 2010 murder of his wife and sexual assault of her 12-year-old daughter confessed in his final days to also murdering his sister-in-law.
First Circuit District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday David Neal Cox penned a note to the DA’s office that disclosed the alleged location of the body of Felicia Cox who had been missing since July of 2007. The letter was hand-delivered by the Office of Capital Post-Conviction Counsel two days after Cox was executed.
CPCC said Cox agreed to the confession shortly before he was executed and waived his attorney-client privilege after his death.
