PITTSBURGH — A Ross Township man pleaded guilty Monday in the strangulating death of a Sheraden woman.
Robert Metz Sr., 68, appeared before Judge Thomas Flaherty and pleaded guilty to one count each of third-degree murder and abuse of a corpse in the killing of Delores Miller.
Miller, 56, had been reported missing and was last seen leaving work June 17 at the Westin Convention Center downtown.
According to police, Metz admitted to them that he strangled Miller when she came to his Perrytown Place apartment to break up with him.
Phone records between Miller and Metz led them to her body. Detectives said Metz tried to hide Miller's car in the parking lot at the River's Casino and dumped her cellphone in the lake at North Park.
Sentencing is scheduled for April 4.
