Matthew John Breck will spend the rest of his life behind bars after entering a guilty plea to homicide on Friday in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court.
The case went unsolved for years, quickly becoming one of Salt Lake City's most notorious cold cases. In 2010, after authorities utilised DNA testing to link the 32-year-old to the death of Anna Palmer, he was detained and extradited from an Idaho prison to Utah.
On September 10, 1998, Palmer was discovered bleeding and unresponsive on the front porch of her Salt Lake City residence. The girl was stabbed five times in the throat, five of which were deadly, one of which severed her spinal cord. Breck will not be executed in exchange for entering a guilty plea.
