HOMOSASSA SPRINGS, Florida (CNN) -- Convicted sex offender John Evander
Couey has confessed to abducting and killing 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford,
authorities in Homosassa Springs, Florida said Friday.

Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said that Couey had taken a polygraph
test today, then at the end told officials, "'You don't need to tell me
the results. I already know what they are.'"

Dawsy added, "John Couey admitted to abducting Jessica and subsequently
taking her life."

The announcement came after authorities sealed off the Homosassa Springs
home where Couey was staying when Lunsford disappeared three weeks ago.

The two homes are across the street from each other.

Helicopters are flying overhead. Yellow crime scene tape is stretched
around the property. Police are searching the grounds and nearby wooded
area.

Except for an unlocked front door, the Lunsford home was undisturbed, with
no signs of a struggle. She lived with her father -- Mark Lunsford -- and
her grandparents.

Lunsford said he had never seen Couey before or heard his name. He had
earlier told reporters he was not convinced that Couey was involved.

Couey was arrested on parole violation charges at a homeless shelter in
Augusta, Georgia on Thursday and questioned in the disappearance, law
enforcement sources said.

Richmond County Sheriff Ronnie Strength described Couey as "cooperative."

"He was taken without incident. He did not try to hide who he was," the
sheriff said. "He told us who he was. And we had no problem whatsoever
with him."

Investigators from Citrus County, Florida -- the lead team on the
investigation -- and the FBI are questioning Couey.

The 46-year-old is registered in Citrus County as a sex offender but
wasn't living at the address he had given authorities, sheriff's
department spokeswoman Ronda Hemminger Evan said.

Authorities had already searched Couey's residence and removed several
items from it, Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said.

Jessica is 4 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 70 pounds, has light brown hair
and was last reported wearing a pink nightgown.

Dawsy said that Couey's name came up when authorities were investigating
sexual offenders in the area.

Warrant issued after address change
Under Florida law, a convicted sex offender must register his change of
address, and a warrant was issued, according to the sheriff.

Dawsy said detectives have been concerned about Couey because of his
criminal history spanning more than three decades and 24 arrests,
including burglary, carrying a concealed weapon, indecent exposure,
disorderly conduct, larceny and drug charges.

Couey pleaded guilty to 1991 felony charges of sex offense against a
child, fondling a child under 16, and lewd and lascivious conduct in
Kissimmee, Florida. He was convicted of indecent exposure in 1987,
according to records from the sheriff's office.

During a 1978 burglary for which he was convicted, Couey was accused of
grabbing a girl in her bedroom, placing his hand over her mouth and
kissing her, Dawsy said.
