Roy Herman Evans, 44, has pleaded guilty to murdering 28-year-old Sunday Blombergh. Evans was arrested in 2010 in connection with the death of Blombergh, who disappeared April 22, 2010 and was found dead a month later in a wooded area in Colquitt County near the Tift County line.

District Attorney Paul Bowden said Tuesday morning that Evans pleaded guilty to malice murder late Monday afternoon at the Tift County Law Enforcement Center. He stated that Judge Melanie Cross sentenced Evans to life in prison. He will be eligible for parole after 30 years.

Bowden said the trials on defendants Ruby Anne Evans and Theo Wayne Conoly have not been scheduled yet. Ruby Anne Evans is currently charged with murder and conspiracy, and Conoly is charged with conspiracy. More will be provided in Wednesday’s edition of the paper.
