Investigators say convicted serial killer Michael Ronning may know something about a body found 21-years-ago in the Ocala National Forest.

But Ronning won't talk to police, the Orlando Sentinel reported. He allegedly told a Dateline NBC producer he fears the death penalty.

Ronning is serving life in prison without parole for the 1986 murder of a 19-year-old woman in Arkansas. He has admitted to at least six other killings, the newspaper said.

Police are hoping Ronning can shed light on the identity of a woman whose body was found in 1984 in the national forest near Umatilla, Fla.

Producers working on a story about Ronning in 2002 for Dateline NBC found a traffic ticket that was issued to Ronning by Umatilla police the day before the body was found.

Ronning refused to meet with Florida detectives at the time, the newspaper said.

Dateline producer Shane Bishop kept in touch with Ronning and wrote to Florida Gov. Jeb Bush last month, saying that Ronning admitted to killings in Florida and Texas.

Bishop said Ronning won't meet with detectives unless the governors of Texas and Florida agree to take the issue of the death penalty off the table.
