After over 30 years, the racially-motivated killing of Timothy Coggins has been solved, and his murderers will be punished.

William “Bill” Moore pleaded guilty to charges related to the murder on Thursday and was sentenced to 30 years, with 20 to be served in prison, according to The Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

Franklin Gebhardt, Moore’s brother-in-law, was sentenced to 60 years imprisonment six weeks ago. Three other people were charged with obstruction of justice, but those charges were related not to the murder itself, but to their actions after the case’s reopening.

In 1983, 23-year-old Coggins died in Spalding County, Georgia after being stabbed 30 times and dragged behind a pick-up truck. He was killed for dating a white woman, according to The Associated Press.

His case was considered closed two months after his death due to lack of evidence. It was reopened in December 2016, when investigators received a tip. The first tip came in after Gebhardt allegedly bragged about killing Coggins while drunk.

Tips continued to pour, and the pair were arrested in October 2017. A Hydrovac system was used to excavate a well on Moore’s property and authorities found several items related to the murder, including a white tank top, shoes, a chain and a knife.

Coggins’ family feels like justice has finally been served.

His niece, Heather, described her courtroom testimony to CNN.

"I told him that what he did to our family 35 years ago tore our family apart. Our grandmother went to her grave not knowing what happened to her son. I said, 'We forgive you. I hope that whoever you pray to, you ask for forgiveness and are forgiven. I also hope that you spend the rest of your natural life behind bars,'" she said. "He just looked at me."

Peggy Richards, Coggins’ sister, was sad her parents didn’t live to see the verdicts, but said she’s still happy her brother’s murders will be put away.

"We cried, we cried, we cried, we cried for years, but now, we're here. We're here now," said Richards.
