This is from another story and it sheds more light on the subject. What it doesn’t explain is WHY it took so long to have the court case.

I wonder if he committed another crime and was then linked to these murders by DNA evidence.

Thanks for the link. I'll read it. Surely the quote was supposed to be "overwhelming evidence of Lott's guilt."

I can't imagine the feelings of the granddaughter. The rage would be so huge you'd about incinerate, I would think.

I believe the article I posted said he was originally convicted in 2001. So it did take a while to find him, and the evidence was apparently DNA evidence. It explains part of the delay.
