{Falmouth, Kentucky}...As jury selection was to begin in Pendleton County Wednesday, 32 year old Bass Webb of Means, in Menifee County, pleaded guilty to murder in the death of his former girlfriend, 31 year old Bryia Runiewicz, who was found dead in her home in Harrison County on July 31, 2009. A jury could not be seated last year in Harrison County because of pretrial publicity. Webb could have faced the death penalty, but public defender Tom Griffiths says the recommended sentence under a plea agreement is 50 years. Sentencing will be August 15th. Webb is also accused of murder in the death of Sabrina Marie Vaughn in Montgomery County, whose skeletal remains were found in January 2010, seven years after she had gone missing. That trial is scheduled for April 2013.
