It's March 29th. Welcome to Vancouver News today, powered by AI. A Vancouver man named Joseph Klimas just copped a guilty plea for first-degree murder after gunning down another guy and dumping the body on a remote. Locking rode up an aerial last year. Climus, who's 47, shot 46-year-old Caesar Reyes from Portland right in the head near a slew in Woodland, then left him out there until Hikers found the body on November 11th. Scott tipped off when Klimas bragged to a jail inmate about pulling off something just like that. In court Friday, the judge accepted his Alfred plea, letting him take the deal while still claiming he didn't do it. He backed out of a plea back in October and was set for trial next week, but now, that's off the table, with supporters watching him wipe away tears in. The courtroom. He was also hit with charges for messing with a witness, illegal gun possession, and dumping human remains. But those are wrapped into the plea. Meanwhile, his accomplice, 52-year-old Andrea Rochelle Stewart from Vancouver, already

pleaded guilty last year to helping him out by driving. To the scene, her phone data nailed her location right there that night. Sentencing's locked in for April 15th, where he'll likely get 25 years behind bars plus three years of supervision after that, closing. This Grim chapter for good.
