As part of the deal with prosecutors, Anthony had to tell authorities where he dumped his wifeā€™s remains after killing her in March.

Later Monday, investigators found the remains of what they believe are Gretchen Anthony about 3 miles from her Jupiter home.

Officials say security-camera footage, neighborsā€™ testimonies and other evidence connected David Anthony to his wifeā€™s death and disappearance.
