Mark Neal Golden entered the plea in an Oconee County courtroom, and a judge sentenced him to life in prison.
He admitted to killing 42-year-old Daisy Snider, who disappeared after attending a church service at Geer Memorial Baptist in Easley on Nov. 27, 1988.
Snider stopped at a grocery store to buy some milk, but she never made it home, according to investigators.
Police later found her locked car at the Easley Junior High School track, with the milk, her purse and shoes inside.
A hunter founder Snider’s body in some woods near the Oconee Nuclear Station several days later, police said.
Someone had sexually assaulted, strangled and shot her, they said.
About 16 years after Snider’s death, in 2004, DNA evidence collected at her autopsy was compared to Golden’s DNA, which was put on file in Pennsylvania when he was arrested in that state.
When the DNA match was made, Golden was serving time in the state correctional facility there.
