Watch the story about James Addie, who was sentenced to life without parole for the 2018 murder of Molly Watson, on 20/20 at 8 p.m. Friday on ABC.

Glen McSparren was taking a shortcut from his mother’s house in Monroe County, Missouri, on a Friday night in April 2018, when he saw a car pulled over to the side.

It was a dark, backcountry gravel road surrounded by woods, with a creek running across the road. McSparren said he saw someone lying in the road as he got closer.

“My headlights came over on her body in front of the car,” McSparren said. “When I [saw] her, I swear my heart stopped … I could tell she wasn’t moving.”

McSparren had discovered the body of 35-year-old Molly Watson. She had been shot once in the back of the head at close range. When he called 911, he said he was told to check for a pulse, but he already knew she was dead.

“I looked in her eyes, and I could tell that she was gone,” he said.
