A man who allegedly confessed four times to killing a nurse three decades ago in Michigan and wrote on Facebook that he had never killed anyone who didn't deserve it has only just been arrested over the cold case slaying.
Michael Leon Curry, 51, - who dubbed himself the 'Night Stalker' - was charged a week ago with murder in the 1986 strangulation of 59-year-old Wilda Wilkinson in her Bangor home.
A state police investigator testified this month that Curry had confessed four times in the late 1980s to breaking into Wilkinson's home and strangling her but he was never charged.
The police testimony that was given to obtain Curry's recent arrest warrant was only released last week.
Curry was first named as a suspect when Wilkinson's daughter found the nurse dead in her home in on July 29, 1986 when she failed to show up for her shift at the local hospital.
Authorities declined to press charges against him because they said they didn't have enough evidence.
Bangor Police Detective Sergeant Kyle Gorham told the court this month that Curry had actually confessed to a cellmate, confessed in interviews with police and even wrote a letter to a detective admitting his involvement between 1986 and 1989.

Curry was questioned early on in the murder investigation and was arrested on an unrelated charge. While he was detained on the unrelated charge, Curry allegedly told his cellmate that he had killed Wilkinson.
The cellmate contacted now-retired Bagor Police Lt. Tim Wydick to report Curry's alleged confession. He gave police a handwritten note dated December 28, 1986 in which Curry had allegedly confessed.
In a subsequent interviews with police, Curry allegedly confessed twice to killing the victim.
Curry allegedly confessed again in December 1989 after he was arrested for beating his roommate nearly to death.
Wydick received an anonymous letter a day later stating: 'Almost 41 months have passed, 1,233 days since that fatal hot and humid July night'. It was the exact time since Wilkinson was murdered.
The letter also included details about the crime, including that Wilkinson was found without her underwear.
Detectives later found that Curry's fingerprints were allegedly found on the letter.

Curry went on to serve a 20 year prison sentence for beating his roommate and he was released in 2017.
Authorities reopened the cold case investigation last year and started monitoring Curry's Facebook after he was released.
According to court documents, Curry posted in June last year: 'I am no angel. If I get p***ed I kill' and 'I have never killed anyone who did not – who didn’t deserve it.' The posts have since been deleted.
Detectives exhumed Wilkinson's body in October and performed an autopsy before Curry was arrested last week in California and charged with murder.
Wydick, the retired detective, told WOOD-TV last week that he had handed over everything to the prosecutor at the time but no arrest warrant was ever issued.
'A lot of people didn’t believe (his confession) at the time,' Wydick said.
'People thought he was trying to get attention.'
Wydick said he believed Curry had given a more detailed confession recently that tied him to the crime.
The prosecutor's office declined to comment on the case.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
