A man who made a deathbed confession may have solved a cold case murder.
Last month, Larry Sherrard told his niece that he had killed two people just hours before he died and told her where a body could be buried.
Officials say a body found in the Saltpeter Cave in Hardin County back in 1989 could be linked to Sherrard; police still don’t know how it got there.

The Hardin County Sheriff’s Department has reopened the investigation and are now looking for other people who may have helped Sherrard pull off the killing.
The confession also led Elizabethtown police to dig up a yard on Railroad Avenue where he lived in the ’90s.
An excavation of the site found small pieces of bone, but no word on whether they are human.
