TAZEWELL COUNTY, Ill. — 53-year-old Daniel Allbritton was sentenced to 37 years in prison on Thursday.
The Washington man plead guilty on Aug. 5 to first-degree murder in the 2019 death of John Tyler, of Morton.
Tyler was initially reported missing in early December 2019. A jogger found his body just before Christmas near Schmidgall Road in rural Tazewell County.
An investigator’s report showed blood samples taken from Allbritton’s car and garage matched Tyler’s DNA.
Tazewell County Coroner Charles Hanley said Tyler died from blunt force trauma.
