LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- The nephew of a woman found dead inside her home has confessed to murdering her.
Police said David Neel Clark, 52, has been charged in the murder of Dorothy Ann D’Anna, 63.
D'Anna was found inside her Collins Port Cove home in Suwanee on July 16 around 1 pm. Police ruled her death to be suspicious.
Police said Clark used his aunt's credit card after her death. Clark could not be found locally, but transactions had been made in Alabama and Florida. Detectives obtained a warrant for Clark’s arrest for financial transaction card fraud.
The Walton County Sheriff’s Office in Walton County, Fla., arrested Clark on July 17 after he attempted to commit suicide on a beach in their jurisdiction.
Clark was transported back to Gwinnett, where police said he confessed to murdering his aunt.
