SNOW HILL, Md. (AP) -- A Worcester County jury has found a Texas man guilty of first-degree murder in the death of a Delaware woman who went missing from a Pocomoke City home in 2007.
Justin Michael Hadel, of College Station, Texas, was convicted Wednesday of killing Christine Marie Sheddy, 26. Her skeletal remains were found in February 2010 on the grounds of a bed and breakfast in Snow Hill, Md.
