SEATTLE -  A Federal Way man has pleaded guilty to killing a 70-year-old Seattle woman more than 24 years ago.

The plea to the first-degree murder charge was entered Monday in King County Superior Court by 50-year-old Daryl Hart.

Prosecutors say Hart was 25 years old in 1984 when he sexually assaulted and killed Nora Gracey, a neighbor. The case went unsolved for decades until the state crime lab in August returned test results showing Hart was the source of DNA collected after Gracey's death.

Hart denies having sexually assaulted Gracey. He is to be sentenced Feb. 26.
