WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Lee Boyd Malvo, who as a teenager participated in a nationwide killing spree, has apologized from a Virginia prison to the daughter of one victim.
The call between Malvo and Cheryll Witz was set up by an ABC News producer, the Washington Post reported. Malvo admitted last year he and John Allen Muhammad killed Jerry Taylor, who was ambushed on a golf course in Tucson.
Witz said she was in a Costco in Tucson when ABC News reached her on her cell phone. The producer had already asked her if she would speak to Malvo, who is serving a life sentence in the Red Onion Correctional Center.
"He told me he's been trying to write me but didn't know where to start," she told the Post. "He said: 'I just wanted to apologize to you. I am so sorry for what I've done.'"
Malvo, who is not related to Muhammad but regarded him as a foster father, traveled across the country with him. When the pair shot five people in a single day in the Washington area, a manhunt began.
Muhammad has been sentenced to death in Virginia.
