Oregon Man Reportedly Confessed to 1979 Cold Case Murder

Irmer was ordered to be held without bail.

In a news release, District Attorney Kevin Hayden said, “This was a brutal, ice-blooded murder made worse by the fact that a person was charged and tried — and fortunately, found not guilty — while the real murderer remained silent until now. No matter how cold cases get resolved, it’s always the answers that are important for those who have lived with grief and loss and so many agonizing questions.”
