CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee police say DNA evidence led to the arrest of an ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ man in a 22-year-old unsolved slaying.
Clarksville Police spokesman Jim Knoll said in a news release that DNA evidence from the autopsy of 23-year-old Christa Bramlitt was entered into a national database in 1996 in hopes of a possible match. After more than two decades, police received word in February that a man in Phoenix had been entered into the system with matching DNA.
A Clarksville officer traveled to ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ last month and interviewed 48-year-old Kenneth Hudspeth, who was in Clarksville when the slaying occurred and knew the victim. Police say he was taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide.
ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ outlets report Hudspeth waived extradition Monday and is being transported to Clarksville.
It's not clear whether Hudspeth has an attorney.
