Killer nabbed by chewed gum and a water bottle apologizes for murdering a teacher as he heads to prison for life
Jan 9, 2019
Rowe, 50, pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree murder, rape and related counts in Mirack's killing, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office.
Rowe's attorney said her client has admitted he murdered Christy Mirack, the prosecutor reported.
"The person standing beside me has admitted his guilt," Patricia Spotts said.
Rowe's guilty plea includes a sentence of life without the possibility of parole with a consecutive prison term of 60 to 120 years, the district attorney said.
In accepting it, Rowe turned Tuesday to Mirack's relatives, who'd waited more than 26 years for answers in the case.
"I can't imagine what you are going through," the killer said. "I apologize."
Still, Vince Mirack [brother of victim] had one searing question when he addressed Rowe in court, the district attorney reported.
"Why?" he asked. "Why are we sitting here today?"
