The 13-year-old case of a missing Baltimore doctor was solved Tuesday, with a surprise murder confession announced in a federal courtroom nearly a thousand miles away.
Dr. Henry Peter Ackerman was a 48-year-old widower and recent transplant to Baltimore when he went missing in the summer of 1998 during a trip toMemphis, Tenn. He and his wife, Velma, had lived in a suburb there before her death from leukemia in 1994, and Ackerman went back to the area planning to buy a vehicle and drive it to his new home in Maryland, federal prosecutors said.
But he never returned, and more than a decade would pass before anyone looked to Dale Mardis, a gun dealer, for answers.
