While sitting along the side of an interstate highway outside of Oklahoma City, authorities say that Joseph Beck voluntarily confessed to killing 19-year-old Jennifer Kyli Molloy in 2016.Beck offered the confession to a state trooper, who performed the welfare check on Thursday after a passerby reported seeing a man by himself near an exit off I-40, according to Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Edmond police told the station that Beck became their primary suspect in the former cold case once he shared specific details about the murder. During an interview with investigators, he said that he and Molloy worked together and confessed to being attracted to her, according to KWTV.
