Authorities in Alabama say a DNA match found through a genealogy website has led to an arrest in decades-old slaying and rape case.
Al.com reports 45-year-old Coley McCraney, of Dothan, was arrested Saturday and charged with rape and capital murder in the 1999 deaths of 17-year-olds Tracie Hawlett and J.B. Beasley.
Ozark police and Dale County sheriff’s officials are scheduled to hold a press conference about the case on Monday.
The girls left Dothan the night of July 3, 1999, to attend a party, but they never arrived.
The pair was found the next day in the trunk of Beasley’s car alongside a road in Ozark, each with a gunshot wound to the head.
A different suspect was cleared after his DNA didn’t match that from semen found on Beasley. (NAN)
