(admin Note: Morris was AMW direct capture #744):
Nearly 13 years after a College Park mom was found strangled and stuffed in the truck of her car, the man believed to have killed her is facing the death penalty.
Teresa Green's former neighbor, 48-year-old Demorris Andy Hunter, is the suspect in her death.
Back in 2003, he was arrested in Texas about 9 months after Green's body was found but because of his violent past and another pending murder case involving another woman on the West Coast, he was not brought back Florida to face his charges until this month.
Hunter, who was booked into the Orange County Jail about 11:30 p.m. on Feb. 5, will finally face first-degree murder charges for Green's slaying. His bail has been denied and jail officials have noted that his is not to be released.
Before his arrest, Hunter was featured on the long-running television show, America's Most Wanted, and was also previously listed as one of the fugitives on the FBI website.
According to jail records, Hunter is already serving a life sentence in the March 26, 2002 death of 41-year-old Ivora Huntly of Oakland, Calif. Huntly was shot to death when she tried to stop Hunter from beating another woman, investigators said at the time.
Shortly after Huntly's death, witnesses reported seeing Hunter running from the scene. But before he could be arrested, police said, Hunter took a cross-country trip and moved to Orlando's College Park neighborhood.
He moved into an apartment in the same building Green shared with her 14-year-old son.
Green's son was staying with a friend the night of the incident. Police said Green had a party at her home on May 25, 2002. The party wrapped up about 2:30 a.m. the next day. Shortly afterward, witnesses told police, Hunter and Green got into an argument.
That day, exactly three months after Huntly's death, was the last time anyone saw Green alive.
Hours after the argument, Hunter was seen driving Green's car and abandoning it at a Sanford drug store. Another neighbor said Hunter admitted that he "did something really bad" before borrowing his van and using it to flee to Texas.
That van was later found burned in an abandoned parking lot in Houston, Texas, where Hunter was eventually arrested.
Even before Green and Huntly were killed, police say, Hunter was convicted in the death of a third woman. He was sentenced to 13 years in California's Folsom State Prison in that case.
