Police seek radio caller who reportedly admits to killing

<p>Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man who allegedly called into a radio talk show and claimed to have killed a store clerk more than a decade ago.</p><p>Cheo Ash called the Neal Boortz Show Wednesday morning from a pay phone in a San Antonio state hospital and confessed that he shot a clerk during a February 1994 robbery at an Atlanta Fina gas station, said Belinda Skelton, the show's executive producer.</p><p>"I get crazy people all the time, but this guy started rattling off all the details," said Skelton, who fielded the call.</p><p>Throughout the nationally syndicated show, Skelton was on one line with Ash and the other with a DeKalb County homicide detective.</p><p>Ash never spoke on air, but Boortz mentioned the behind-the-scenes intrigue once officers realized there may be something to Ash's claim _ he had given them information on the killing that was not public knowledge, Skelton said.</p><p>DeKalb police spokesman Herschel Grangent said authorities still may be skeptical of the claims, however, because Ash is currently in the state hospital awaiting a competency hearing in a burglary case.</p><p>Ash, 30, told Skelton he wanted to confess his sins and wants to apologize to the family of the victim, Naresh Amin, who was found shot several times in the bathroom of the gas station.</p><p>"My biggest fear was for him to get agitated with me and hang up. Luckily, he was a willing participant," Skelton said. "Most people that call me don't confess to murders."</p>
