MILWAUKEE (AP) — Authorities have charged a man with second-degree murder after he called a Milwaukee television news station and discussed details of a cold case involving a Milwaukee seventh-grade girl whose body was found more than 30 years ago.

Prosecutors say Jose Ferreira is responsible for the death of 13-year-old Carrie Ann Jopek, who went missing in 1982.

The case resurfaced last week when WISN 12 News reported that Ferreira called its newsroom and discussed the case.

"His story was very detailed — disturbingly so," Chris Gegg, the station's news director, said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press on Sunday.

Living with that guilt for 33 years would be horrible.
