Derek Tudor, the son of the missing Queens man's girlfriend, has admitted to murdering him and burying his body in the backyard of his Ridgewood home. According to NYPD spokesman Paul Browne, the 27-year-old Tudor confessed to killing 60-year-old Frank Soucie on Tuesday night. Tudor's father, Roger, says that his son told him Soucie was "abusive" and an "alcoholic." 

Soucie had been missing since Apr. 22, and neighbors grew suspicious when Tudor was spotted carrying a large trash bag behind the home. Ammonia and gloves were found on the roof, and a burned sleeping bag was found in the home's garage. 

Roger Tudor, who says his son is on several forms of medication, added that with a case like this, "nobody wins." His son was charged with murder after confessing to the crime.
