(October 9, 2008)--A Texas man convicted of murder in the disappearance of a woman whose body was never found wassentenced Thursday to life in prison.
Earlier Thursday, a Tarrant County jury found Rodney Owens 41, guilty, in the death of his 51-year-old former neighbor Glenda Gail Furch, a General Motors assembly plant worker who hasn't been seen since Sept. 28, 2007.
Prosecutors lacked a body to support their case, but investigators linked Furch's disappearance to Owens with a thumbprint on duct tape found in a trash bin outside her apartment.
Police say they also found in the same trash bag electrical and telephone cords tied in unusual knots, a towel, clothes and other items belonging to Furch.
About a week after she disappeared, Furch's car was found burned at an abandoned car wash.
