After being linked by DNA to a cold case in Oklahoma, Texas inmate William Lewis Reece began confessing.
By the time he was done, he had admitted to the killing in Oklahoma and three more in Texas, prosecutors say. All were in 1997, after he got out of an Oklahoma prison after serving time for rape.
He led investigators in Texas to two bodies after prosecutors there agreed not to seek the death penalty for his cooperation.
Texas Rangers pushed Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater to do the same. The district attorney refused.
Now almost six years after being charged Reece, 61, is going on trial in the Oklahoma murder case.
