Man offers victim’s foot for plea deal
Man offers victim’s foot for plea deal
ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) — A homeless man charged with killing and dismembering his friend says he can’t remember much about the crime.
But in a jailhouse interview, Leslie Sandoval told the Anderson Independent-Mail he remembers where he put the victim’s missing left foot and is willing to tell a prosecutor if she will make him a deal.
Sandoval says he went on a January drinking binge with Seth Foster. Foster’s torso was found under an Anderson home, and his head, hands and right foot were found different places.
Sandoval says he is confused about exactly what happened. But he disagrees with a coroner’s finding he beat Foster and denies a claim from investigators that he confessed and gave them the knife used to dismember Foster.
Man makes amends for stealing plants
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — No matter how much digging investigators did, the crime remained open until a thief turned himself in and returned the fruits of his theft.
The crime was stealing two hydrangeas in May 1958 from Centennial Park in Nashville. And the thief, 72-year-old Bill Teitleff of Joy, Ky., returned plants from the root system of the purloined flowers to the park on Thursday.
Teitliff said he took the flowering plant because he didn’t have enough money at the time to buy a Mother’s Day gift for his mother. At the time of the theft, Teitleff was 18 years old and just married.
