A former UMBC student?s taped confession to the killing of a woman he met over the Internet can be admitted at trial, a Baltimore County judge said.

Over the course of a weeks-long investigation into Josie Brown?s disappearance, police collected several statements from John Gaumer pertaining to their date on Dec. 29 last year ? the night she went missing. He ultimately confessed to her killing in detail in a video-recorded statement played this week in court.
