#AceNewsReport – Lloyd Lee Welch Jr., 60, entered his plea in a Virginia court Tuesday. Welch is accused of snatching 12-year-old Sheila Lyon and 10-year-old Katherine Lyon in March 1975…………..Authorities believe he burned the girls’ bodies on a remote mountain in Bedford County, Virginia, where his family owned land, they were never recovered #AceNewsDesk reports
The first-degree felony murder charges carry the possibility of a death sentence, but it wasn’t known before the hearing if prosecutors had agreed not to pursue the death penalty in exchange for Welch’s guilty pleas.
He was scheduled to go on trial Tuesday, but his trial request was withdrawn last week…….The Washington Post reported that Welch plans to plead guilty in an agreement that will also resolve two unrelated sexual assault cases against him………Welch is already serving a long prison term in Delaware for sexually molesting a 10-year-old girl……
