Furlan was reported missing by her family on Aug. 31, 2009. One week later, her body was found in Fish Creek Park by a man walking his dog.
At the time of her death, Furlan had reportedly been working in the sex trade after losing her job as an administrative assistant. Police said her DNA was found inside Dunlop’s truck.
Dunlop also pleaded guilty to committing an indignity to a human body.
His sentencing hearing began on Nov. 20. A decision on sentencing is expected on Friday.
