Anthony Harris was 12 years old when he was charged and later convicted of murdering his 5-year-old neighbor, Devan Duniver. His conviction was eventually overturned and, more than 20 years later, he said he is still haunted by the grisly crime.
Harris, whose conviction for the 1998 murder of Devan Duniver was overturned, remembered feeling “pressure” and “scared” when questioned by police as a 12-year-old boy.Anthony Harris was 12 years old when he was charged and later convicted of murdering his 5-year-old neighbor, Devan Duniver.
Harris, who has served as a Marine, said he is frustrated that Devan's killer has never been identified or captured. Devan disappeared after she went outside to play. When her mother, Lori, discovered Devan was gone, she spent the afternoon looking for her and called the police in the evening. Harris and his family lived in the same apartment complex as the Dunivers and aided in the search.The next day, Devan was found in the woods behind her home dead with multiple stab wounds to her neck.
"The investigator, he had basically told me that, 'If you confess to this murder you can go home.' It's like, 'Okay. Well, I'm over here scared, so I want to go home,'" Harris recalled. "My statement was very clear, there is no evidence in this case. That's all you need to know from me. There's no evidence here," Hale told"20/20."
"I thought, 'My God, is that guy ever creepy,'" Niarchos told"20/20.""He was so suspicious looking and he was right there. I thought, 'What is he doing here?'"
