A 30-year-old Garden Grove man, who has been missing for the last week and is a suspect in the disappearance of his girlfriend, surrendered to police Thursday and reportedly admitted killing her.
Lt. John Woods said Robert Martin Gray Jr., 30, was accompanied by Downey attorney Kirt Hopson when he turned himself in at the Garden Grove police station. Hopson said Gray confessed to killing Debbie Ann Lee, 24, who was last seen Aug. 2.
The attorney said that after the surrender, Gray took Garden Grove detectives to a large orange grove on the outskirts of Corona in Riverside County to search for Lee’s body, but a police spokesman said Thursday night that detectives did not find a body.
