CLEVELAND, Ga. (AP) A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a northeast Georgia chaplain who gave him a ride home.

William Joseph Dyer pleaded guilty to murder Tuesday in the Dec. 1 death of 44-year-old Frank Harris Jr. of Clermont. Harris was stabbed in the abdomen and then run over with his own car in an apparent robbery attempt.

A murder charge against Dyer's 29-year-old girlfriend, Jennifer Lineberger, was dropped. She pleaded guilty to theft and other charges and was sentenced to three years in prison.

Harris, a father of three, was chaplain at Gainesville's Compassionate Hospice and a part-time youth minister at Pendergrass Baptist Church. District Attorney Stan Gunter says Harris picked up the pair hitchhiking at a gas station on U.S. 129 near Gainesville.

  • Minister's Death
    This is why you can't trust or be nice to people. Sad that one man trying to be kind to another & this is the thanks he get's from scum like that. The girl friend got off lucky if i had been the judge she would be behind bars for a long time.
