A routine welfare check in Oklahoma last week led to an unexpected development in a murder cold case. 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. The trooper took Beck to the Edmond Police Department, which had initially investigated Molloy's killing. Detectives eventually arrested the 28-year-old as a suspect in her death and charged him with first-degree murder. Records show that Beck was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on Friday, and was still being held there as of Monday morning.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol said they "hope this ultimately ends in answers for an Oklahoma family."
