Man Pleads Guilty in 1994 Murder Case; Implicates Ex-Girlfriend in the Crime

An Ohio man has pleaded guilty to stabbing a Cattaraugus County man to death in 1994.

56-year-old Randall Knight entered his plea in federal court in Buffalo. As part of his plea agreement he implicated 47-year-old Cheryl Gasper, whose husband Andie he killed and left in a pickup truck behind the Ames department store in Yorkshire.

Knight and Cheryl Gasper were having an affair at the time of the murder.

Knight was tried and acquitted on charges brought by the state in 1995. Because of the acquittal, the state could not charge him again which is why, after the case was opened up again, he was charged in federal court with crossing state lines to commit murder.

Cheryl Gasper has pleaded not guilty to her part in the murder but court papers indicate that she did confess.
