HOMOSASSA -- A registered sex offender with an extensive criminal history confessed Friday to killing 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, who went missing from her Florida home more than three weeks ago, officials said.
John Evander Couey admitted abducting and killing Jessica, who had disappeared from her home on Feb. 23, Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said.
Deputies Friday blocked off an area near the home of Couey's half-sister, about 150 yards from where Jessica lived with her father and grandparents.
Couey, 46, was arrested Thursday in Augusta, Ga., on a probation violation for failing to notify officials that he was leaving Florida, a requirement for sex offenders.
He had been named as a ``person of interest'' in the case but not initially charged in Jessica's disappearance. He waived extradition Friday to clear the way for him to be moved to Florida before he confessed to the crimes after a polygraph test in Augusta, Dawsy said....."

This is tragic news. That poor little child.
Damn.
Just damn.
A sane society would string him up today.
It says this man is 46, he looks like he is about 66.
Here is the link to MSNBC.com to see the picture of this slime.

Can he get the DP in FLA? That is my only question.
I feel so bad for this little girl's father. He was so heartbroken. Now his heart will always be broken. I am crying, I just don't know what to even think.
Whack him.
How sad... Why can't our judicial system be tougher on sex offenders, especially those who target children? This catch and release system is not working.
Rest her soul.
The ACLU will run to defend this child murderer. The ACLU will run to defend Michael Schiavo, a spouse murderer.
Why are child predators not given life in prison or death on the first offense? They cannot be rehabilitated, and their future behavior cannot be predicted.
Do you think our society really cares about children? I don't. There is a lot of posturing but very little real thought for them.
Rome was right about birth control paving the way for abortion and abortion leading to all kinds of killing, old and young alike.
A sane society would never have let this cretin out in the first place. What is it about Florida, btw? Horrible news about death and the march of evil coming out of Florida today?
A sane society would string him up today.

We are seen JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF LIBERALISM that has taken over our judicial system. IMHO, they should either be put away for good, or executed. Period. There is NO CONTEST when it comes to what happens, many times, when these psychopathic deviates are turned loose -- our liberalized system FORGETS THEY ARE STILL THE SAME SICK DEVIATES THEY WERE BEFORE THEY WERE PUT AWAY!!!
$hit.
Execute him.
Don't blame Florida, please.
May he burn in eternal hell.
Pull his feeding tube. Hey.....it's all the rage now.
This is terrible news that the little girl in FL is dead. On Terri Schiavo, I just don't understand why the ACLU and the liberals aren't coming out of the woodwork to ensure her rights are protected. Un-freaking believable.
I met a psychiatrist earlier this year (as a real estate client).
This is very much a "helping" profession, which one might expect to be "touchy feely" and so forth.
She surprised me when she flatly stated that sex criminals essentially cannot be rehabilitated. She felt the legal system does citizens a disservice by letting them out, to offend again.
