Wilkeshunter, Yes they did. The police knew pretty much as soon as the body was found who did it. The guy had been seen by several people badgering Butch at a convenience store about an hour before his parents called the Piggly Wiggly saying he hadn't arrived home. It took them about 3 days to locate him. He pled guilty to avoid the death penalty and was sentenced to life without parole. The only upside to the whole thing is that when he had been in the prison in Columbia for about 3 months, another prisoner showed up that had been a friend of Butch's family. That coupled with the fact the POS wasn't adapting well earned him an ass-whipping that cost him an eye and partial use of his lower extremities.
