In a 1993 Missouri cold case, Loril Harp made incriminating comments during a 2015 interrogation about the shooting death of a liquor store owner.
Detectives revisited the case in 2020 and noticed Harp talking to himself and making suspicious phone calls during the 2015 interview.
“I’m not under arrest, but I probably will be before I leave here,” Harp was heard saying to himself at the time. (Trending: Judge Issue Major Ruling On Transgender Procedures For Kids)

This led to further questioning in 2020, where Harp dodged questions and eventually described a physical altercation but denied shooting the victim.
“I grabbed his hand and hit him until he dropped the gun,” Harp admitted.
“And then I hit him again, and then I took off out the door.”
“I hurt him. I know I hurt him. Like I said, I fight.”
“I hit him f—— hard. But I didn’t shoot him.”
His mention of using the store’s side door raised suspicions, and he ultimately admitted to showering with blood on him when he got home.
“I was one of the first cars on the scene. And I actually got to put handcuffs on him today.” – Arnold #Police Chief Robert Shockey on the arrest of Loril “Bill” Harp, now charged with the 1993 murder of Arnold liquor store owner Steve Weltig. @FOX2now pic.twitter.com/g92dxadbSX
