A New Mexico man who called 911 to confess to the 2008 killing of his former landlord has been arraigned on a charge of first-degree murder.
In this frame grab from body camera video provided by the Roswell Police Department, Tony Peralta leans against a police vehicle after turning himself in to authorities, in Roswell, N.M., May 1, 2023. Peralta called 911 to confess to the 2008 killing of his former landlord. – Officers found Tony Peralta sitting on a curb not far from a convenience store where he borrowed a cellphone to call 911 and confess to the 2008 killing of his former landlord.
“I confess, man. I confess. I don’t want to live life anymore without confessing," he said while sitting in an interview room at police headquarters. “There's a dead body in there, dude!” he told one officer while in the back of a patrol car parked in front of the home where he once was a tenant of 69-year-old William Blodgett. Peralta said he'd feel better once the body was found.
A tearful Peralta told police he didn’t know why he had killed Blodgett. At one point, police video shows him putting his head down onto a table during an interview and sobbing.
