MANISTIQUE, Mich. (AP) - A 47-year-old man has pleaded guilty in the deaths of three people whose bodies were found in a burned-out car in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

The Daily Press of Escanaba reports Garry Cordell made the plea Thursday in a Schoolcraft County court to murder charges in the deaths of 31-year-old Carrie Nelson, 25-year-old Heather Aldrich and 42-year-old Jody Hutchinson.

They were found April 17 in Doyle Township, 70 miles southeast of Marquette. Police have said the motive appears to be drug-related.

He faces life in prison without parole at sentencing, which it tentatively scheduled for Dec. 10.
