On Wednesday, Thornton and Sgt. Jeffery Rodrigue traveled to the nursing home, where they placed London under arrest. London was advised of his rights and then confessed, investigators said. London said he first saw Kolman walking near an open lot in the 300 block of Monticello Avenue on the date of her murder. He said he approached her with the intent to rob her, but when she resisted, he escalated the violence by raping and killing her. With help from medical personnel, London was transported to the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center and booked.
