In exchange for the plea, David Anthony told authorities where the remains of Gretchen Anthony have been located for the last nine months, about 3 miles from her Abacoa home.
David Anthony, 44, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and kidnapping before Circuit Judge Jeffrey Gillen in connection to Gretchen Anthony s March 21 disappearance.
After hours of searching Monday, investigators found the remains of what they believe are the 51-year-old mother near Bush Road and Indiantown Road, Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr said during a news conference that evening.
“We hope that this will bring closure to family now that Gretchen has been located,” Kerr said.
