A convicted sex offender in western Pennsylvania is accused of raping and murdering a great-grandmother while she was out for a walk.

Prosecutors announced the arrest of David Bosely, 59, Thursday for homicide, rape, kidnappings, aggravated indecent assault and abuse of a corpse.

Marcy Nellis, 76, went for a walk on a trail near her Oil City home March 27. After she was reported missing, her body was found the next day near a university campus.
