COLD CASE: DNA tests lead police to 1992 rape suspect
Updated: Feb 8, 2019 - 10:30 PM

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Sexual assault kits initially tested in 1992 and completed in 2018, as part of a federal grant, led Charlotte-Mecklenburg police to a suspect accused of sexually assaulting two victims in north Charlotte.

Police arrested and charged Antwan Kirkland, 45, Wednesday.

On May 30, 1992, two victims -- a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old -- were leaving the Charlotte area when two men asked for directions. The men got into the vehicle and told the victims to them the 4600 block of Cheviot Road, where they robbed and sexually assaulted them at gunpoint.

DNA leads to arrest in hitchhiker sex attack

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) —

A man accused of raping a woman he picked up in his car is behind bars, thanks to DNA and legislation that required the testing of backlogged sexual assault kits.

Richard Christophe, 29, is facing charges of sexual battery on a victim older than 12, and kidnapping/false imprisonment of an adult.

The investigation began in August 2015 when a neighbor found a 51-year-old woman standing naked in the middle of the road in Lantana. The neighbor took her in and covered her with a blanket. The first deputy on scene noticed the woman visibly shaken and she kept saying, "He beat me up, he beat me up."

According to the arrest report, the woman said she was walking by herself near 8th Avenue South and South Avenue J in Lake Worth when a man pulled up in a car, offering her a ride. Once inside the car, she said he grabbed her by the throat, told her not to scream, and forced her to perform oral sex on him. She said they drove around for hours before stopping at a home. She could only remember the home was on a dead end street near a shopping center and had leather furniture inside. She said he made her perform oral sex on him again in the shower. Once he fell asleep, she said she ran to a neighbor's house.

The woman told the neighbor to call police, but she didn't. According to the arrest report, the attacker came out of the house, saw the woman talking with the neighbor and approached, calling the neighbor "aunty." The neighbor told the woman she and the man's mother had talked to him before about the same thing. At that moment, the man dragged the woman back to the car, telling the neighbor whom he referred to as "aunty" that it wasn't her business. The woman said the man made her perform oral sex on him again and beat her up. She said he eventually shoved her out of the car and drove off.

Police: Chattanooga man arrested in North Shore rape, burglary in November 2017

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. —

Police have arrested a Chattanooga man charged in a rape and burglary from November 2017.

According to an affidavit, police were called to the Riverview Grande Apartments just after 7:30 a.m. on November 11, 2017.

The victim told police she was sleeping in her bed when she woke up to find a man raping her, according to the report.

Chattanooga Police say the suspect fled the scene once the victim woke up.

DNA evidence leads to Jacksonville man's arrest in 1984 cold case
Updated: Mar 14, 2019 - 11:26 PM

Thomas Lewis Garner, 59, a local dental hygienist from Jacksonville, is in jail in Central Florida.

He’s charged with first-degree premeditated murder after investigators in Seminole County say he killed a Navy recruit there 34 years ago.

They say DNA evidence helped them build the case against Garner by tracing his family lineage, and building a DNA profile.

Seminole County investigators say Garner beat and strangled Navy recruit Pamela Cahanes in 1984.

Her body was found near a vacant home in Seminole County.

A passerby found the 25-year-old Navy recruit just two days after she graduated from basic training.

Investigators say she was wearing only her underwear, with her Navy uniform nearby.

Seminole County detectives credit genetic genealogy with finding a match between Garner’s DNA, and DNA found under the victim’s fingernails.

Investigators say the odds of Garner being the suspect are one to 700 billion.

Updated: Mar 22, 2019 - 12:42 PM

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has charged a man in connection with two 38-year-old sexual assault cold cases.

New DNA testing leads to charges in 1984 Hobart home invasion during which 3 were violently raped

3/28/19

Recent DNA testing led to a Gary man being charged from a 1984 Hobart home invasion in which three victims were raped and a car was stolen, officials said.

Joel Williams Jr., 52, was charged Wednesday in Lake Superior Court with two counts of rape and two counts of criminal deviate conduct, from the March 20, 1984, incident.

DNA testing that was done at the time was inconclusive, Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter said. But after a Hobart officer resubmitted evidence from the case last year, new technology helped investigators make a match and file charges, Carter said.

Williams is being held at the Lake County Jail without bond. An attorney and court date were not listed for Williams as of Thursday afternoon in court records.

On March 20, 1984, police were dispatched at 8:12 p.m. to the 2000 block of East 39th Avenue in Hobart for “an armed home invasion, triple rape and auto theft,” a probable cause affidavit states. Officers spoke with three victims at the residence, according to the affidavit.

Two of the victims said they were driving and turned off Willow Street to head west on East 39th Avenue when they saw three males walking under the Interstate 65 overpass, the affidavit states.

The two in the car pulled in front of a residence, and they “now noticed these three individuals approximately 50 yards away,” according to the affidavit. As they walked up to the door, “the three individuals came up from behind and one put a gun to her head,” the affidavit states.

The three males “forced their way into the home and made everyone lie on the living room floor as they ransacked the house,” according to the affidavit. The victims said they were raped and forced to perform sexual acts as the males held guns and a knife up to them, the affidavit states.

Police arrest alleged serial rapist
March 29, 2019

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne Police say they have arrested a man who has admitted to a series of rapes over the last four years on the city’s southeast side.

Marquise Donta Dozier was arrested Thursday after he was interviewed and admitted to police he was involved in three rapes. The day before, police used fingerprint evidence from one of the scenes to identify Dozier.

He is facing charges of three counts of rape, three counts of burglary and one count of battery.

Police say Dozier would enter homes through a window or door before raping and striking his victims.

Officers used help from the public and a possible composite sketch using a DNA profile. DNA obtained on August 31, 2017 was analyzed by the Indiana State Police Lab and was linked to two other unsolved cases: one in 2015 and another 2017. The rape kit matched two other previous rapes, showing it was the same person involved in at least three rapes.

Suspect told cops he bought 5-year-old girl some candy. He denied he then raped her
Updated April 03, 2019 02:09 PM

Bradenton

The man charged with kidnapping and raping a 5-year-old girl in Bradenton in 2013 told an investigator almost six years ago that he bought candy for the girl before she was attacked, but that it was only a coincidence that they were in the store at the same time, trial testimony revealed Wednesday.

In a videotaped interview with a detective, Dominck Hawkins denied later choking and raping the girl in a decrepit mobile homenearby — as the girl testified on Tuesday.

Hawkins said the girl asked him to buy her some candy while they were both in the India Bazaar convenience store on U.S. 41 in Bradenton.

“When I left that store, that little girl was nowhere near me,” Hawkins said during the July 17, 2013 interview.

That’s counter to what the jury was shown on Tuesday: Surveillance video footage in which Hawkins and the girl are seen together both inside and outside of the store.

Hawkins, 41, is charged with kidnapping a minor under the age of 13 and sexual battery of a minor under the age of 12. He faces life in prison, if convicted as charged.

Nearly six years after the kidnapping and rape, the trial got underway on Monday.

In her testimony Tuesday, the girl, now 11 years old, described how Hawkins lured her away from the Wayside Glens mobile home park where she lived to the nearby India Bazaar store and then to a vacant mobile home in the Aloha Estates mobile home park where he choked her, threw her on the ground and raped her.

“Can you tell me why your DNA would be on her,” lead detective Sgt. James Wischer asked Hawkins during the recorded interview played Wendesday..

Man suspected in rape of 12 women and girls arrested in South Carolina, sheriff's office says
Updated 12:24 PM ET, Thu April 4, 2019

CNN)A man suspected of raping 12 women and girls over an eight-year period in South Carolina has been arrested, the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office said.
Gregory Howard Frye of Spartanburg was arrested Tuesday and charged with one count of burglary, first-degree kidnapping and criminal sexual conduct in connection with one of the assaults, but additional charges were pending, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
The victims, who ranged in age from 14 to 51, were assaulted between 1995 and 2003 in apartment buildings in the early-morning hours, the statement said. One victim was targeted twice.
Efforts to apprehend a suspect were hampered by gaps of 16 months, 20 months and 37 months between incidents, according to the sheriff's office.

The women all gave similar descriptions of their attacker, the statement said.
"The suspect's actions in all the incidents was also very similar, leading investigators to believe that all the offenses were committed by the same person," the statement said. "Once the results of DNA analysis came back on the completed criminal sexual conduct cases, it confirmed all the incidents were committed by the same person."

Man convicted in 1998 rape, murder of Indianapolis woman
Posted 5:35 PM, April 4, 2019

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-- A jury in Marion Superior Court, after nine hours of deliberations, convicted Johnny Jones of the 1998 killing of Kenya Edwards on the north side of Indianapolis.

“That was just a devastating day,” said Edwards’ best friend Martia Stewart. “And so to hear that this is over-- so grateful for the kids, for the family, closure is so important for everybody.”

Edwards’ body was found in the basement of a burning home in the 3800 block of North Tacoma Avenue on Nov. 5, 1998.

An autopsy determined she had been burned alive after being raped.

It wasn’t until 2015 that DNA evidence recovered from Edwards’ body led to a match with an inmate who had been in and out of Indiana prisons since the 1970s, when he first served time on a rape conviction.

“In 2013, Johnny Jones was arrested on a weapons violation,” said IMPD Cold Case Sgt. Dave Ellison, who questioned Jones in prison. “Ultimately he denied that he knew the victim several times. He denied having any type of sexual relations with anybody up after he got out of prison up until the time I talked to him.”

Jones’ DNA sample recovered from Edwards’ body proved otherwise.

DNA evidence links Hilton Head man to a 1988 rape of 60-year-old Bluffton woman, police say
Updated April 26, 2019 09:11 PM

A 55-year-old Hilton Head Island man who is scheduled to be released from prison in 2021 is now facing an additional charge and more years behind bars after DNA evidence has linked him to the rape of a 60-year-old woman he previously admitted to killing in 1988, according to Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office spokesman and cold case investigator Maj. Bob Bromage.

Eckerin Odell Frazier, currently incarcerated at the Lee Correctional Institution in South Carolina, was charged Thursday with first-degree criminal sexual conduct in the rape of Bertha Neaman.

“The case is an unusual one,” Bromage said Friday evening. “But technology has markedly improved and it continues to improve so it may not be unusual in the future to see a situation like this one again.”

Neaman, of Bluffton, was found dead behind the New Church of Christ on Spanish Wells Road on March 15, 1988. The newspaper carrier was reported missing earlier that morning and was last seen around 3 a.m. at the Mid-Island Plaza on Hilton Head, a sheriff’s office news release said.

After her autopsy, medical experts concluded Neaman was shot to death, the release said. Pathologists’ final autopsy report also said, “Neaman’s sexual assault examination showed that sexual activity had occurred in proximity to her death.”

Johnston County Sheriff makes arrest in 46-year-old murder case


Tuesday, April 30th, 2019 2:50PM
SMiTHFIELD, N.C. (WTVD) -- Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzell announced an arrest Tuesday in a murder cold case that had gone unsolved for 46 years.

Larry Joe Scott, 65, was arrested Monday in Florida and has been charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping in the 1972 death of Bonnie Neighbors, Bizzell said.

North Carolina investigators have spoken with Scott, who was living on the streets in Bradenton, Florida, at time of his arrest, but won't reveal what he's told them.

The case had been classified as a "closed case," until Sheriff Steve Bizzell formed a cold case squad and re-opened the investigation in 2007. During the past 12 years,the matter has been investigated and re-investigated, and recently the development of new technology allowed the resubmission of previously submitted DNA for testing. New technological advances identified the suspect and led to his arrest.

On Dec. 14, 1972, Neighbors,33, disappeared while on her way to pick up her 7-year-old son from school. She took her other son, not quite 4 months old with her.

After a search that took several days, her body was found bound and with gunshot wounds in a migrant worker housing unit near Benson.

The baby was found near her body, cold but alive.

Man charged in 1996 murder of Clarksville woman
Updated: May 07, 2019 08:49 AM CDT

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man has been arrested in the 1996 killing of a 23-year-old woman in Clarksville.

Kenneth Hudspeth, 48, was charged with criminal homicide in the death of Crista Bramlitt, who died of suffocation.

Clarksville police responded the afternoon of October 28, 1996 to Sunnydale Mobile Home Park on Preachers Mill Road in reference to Bramlitt, who had been found dead inside of a residence.

There were obvious signs that she had been murdered and it appeared she had been sexually assaulted, investigators said.

During an autopsy, police said a sexual assault evidence collection kit was completed and sent to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab for analysis.

A DNA profile was obtained and loaded into the Combined DNA Index System in search of a possible match.

In February of this year, Clarksville police received an official report from the TBI Crime Lab that stated a preliminary association to a subject, identified as Hudspeth, was made from previously submitted evidence.

Hudspeth was interviewed by Clarksville police on April 16 in Phoenix, Arizona.

During the interview, investigators said they determined Hudspeth was in Clarksville at the time of the murder, he knew the victim, was at the residence the day of the killing and was the last person to see Bramlitt alive.
