asked about the flower that was found in the suitcase, Foy did not give a straight answer, only saying that he was thinking about  what still happened last night to take s--- over the top. 

A previous domestic incident involving Foy and Dale had involved a gun and cops had also observed an axe at Foy's property when they were searching for Dale.

Dale had previously told authorities that  if she went missing it was because [Foy] killed her,  according to the court records.

Under a plea agreement, Foy is expected to get 23 years to life in state prison, which is two years less than the maximum sentence of 25 years to life, according to the Daily Freeman.

Chief Assistant District Attorney Liz Culmone-Mills told the outlet that Dale's family supported the deal.

 The District Attorney's Office would not be making this recommendation were it not for Alberta Dale's family,  Culmone-Mills said.

Foy is due to be sentenced on Dec. 16.
