Media outlets report that 52-year-old Thomas Neal Tait of Waynesboro entered a guilty plea Monday in Greenbrier County Circuit Court in Lewisburg.
The body of 23-year-old Karen Santillan Tait was found in the Greenbrier State Forest in West Virginia in 2002. But she wasn't listed as missing until 2011 and her body wasn't identified until last fall. When initially questioned, Tait told investigators he had presumed she had returned to the Philippines to be with family.
Tait is awaiting sentencing in Virginia after being convicted of possession of child pornography in July. The sentences will run concurrently.
