(DANVILLE, Ind.) – Police in central Indiana say a man has confessed to killing a woman in Illinois when he lived there more than four years ago.
Danville police say 24-year-old Connor Warren Scott of Danville walked into the police station Sunday night and confessed to killing 20-year-old Kaylyn Whitaker of Terre Haute at Scott’s home in Martinsville, Illinois, on Oct. 31, 2014. Martinsville is located about 30 miles southwest of Terre Haute.
