Murderer Apprehended
> HOUSTON (March 26) - A man who had gotten away with
> murder confessed to police after seeing "The Passion of the
> Christ" and talking with a spiritual adviser, authorities said Thursday.
> Dan R. Leach's viewing of Mel Gibson's cinematic depiction
> of the last hours of Jesus, along with the discussion with a family
> friend, led him to walk into the Fort Bend County sheriff's
> department earlier this month and confess to killing Ashley
> Nicole Wilson, Detective Mike Kubricht said.
> A coroner had ruled her death by hanging a suicide. Wilson's
> body was discovered Jan. 19 in her apartment near Richmond,
> southwest of Houston. All physical evidence pointed to suicide,
> Kubricht said, and the 19-year-old had gone off anti-depressant
> medications because she was pregnant.
> The pregnancy apparently was the motive, Kubricht said,
> because Leach believed he was responsible and did not want
> to raise a child.
> Leach, 21, wore gloves and left none of his own DNA behind,
> Kubricht said. "He was very, very meticulous," Kubricht said.
> "It was very well-planned and well executed."
> There was no answer at Leach's residence in Rosenberg
> on Thursday. He was arrested Tuesday, a day after his
> indictment for murder, and remained in county jail on $100,000 bond.
> He was expected to get a court-appointed attorney, Kubricht
> said. "Something (the adviser) said, between that and the movie,
> he felt in order for him to have redemption he would have to
> confess his sin and do his time," Kubricht said.
> Leach faces up to life in prison if convicted.
