Sentenced delayed in Colonial parkway Murders Scam

Posted: Updated:

Sentencing has been delayed for the man at the center of "Colonial Parkway Murders" scam.

The Daily Press reports Fred Atwell pleaded guilty to a scam where he raffled off cars for the Colonial Parkway Victims Fund.

Family members of the unsolved murder victims got suspicious last year.

Authorities say, there were never any cars to raffle off.

The paper reports Atwell's sentencing has been delayed because he's in the hospital with heart problems.
