Sheriff: Grate confessed to 2005 Marion County killing

In March 2007, a man found skeletal remains at a dumping site on Victory Road, and while investigators determined the victim was a woman in her 20s, it remains a Jane Doe case.
Bailey said Grate told investigators he killed a woman in 2005 and then took her body to that site.
"He said this was the first (woman) he ever killed," Bailey said.
