1991 Columbus murder solved

A Columbus man pleaded guilty Wednesday to a 21-year-old murder.  Richard Fugate was sentenced to 41 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to killing 44-year-old Nancy Leslie in her north side home in 1991. Police say he was a suspect from the beginning but wasn't arrested until a DNA match was made in 2010. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
