Man awaits sentencing after guilty plea in '93 murder

Note: 15 years later?

Pennsylvania: Gary Gerber Jr., 36, who was charged with being involved with his brothers in a multimillion-dollar theft ring, pleaded guilty to killing hairdresser Robert Hagan, 45, of Blairstown, N.J. Hagan was found stabbed and run over with his own vehicle on Rimrock Drive, police said.

Attorney General Tom Corbett said a state grand jury investigation into the theft ring implicated Gerber in the murder.

Gerber's brother Richard testified to the grand jury that the entire family knew about the killing because Gerber had admitted the murder to him. Gerber reportedly was heard referring to the victim as a "faggot" and "queer."

When asked if Hagan's murder was viewed as a hate crime, Corbett said he couldn't comment.
