http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/STUDENT_SLAIN?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=USCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A man convicted in a child-support case three years ago is now charged with murder after a DNA sample, required under a new state law for convicted felons, was matched to the 1994 killing of a college freshman.
The 35-year-old man hadn't been a suspect in her death until the DNA match was discovered last year. He was jailed Thursday on $1 billion bond.
Police say Jonathan J. Gravely didn't know the victim, 18-year-old Stephanie Hummer.
Her body was found in a field hours after she disappeared while walking to a friend's house near the Ohio State University campus. She had been raped and died of a blow to the head in what appeared to have been a random attack, said Columbus police detective Russell Redman.
This is good. Let science be used to free the innocent and indict the guilty bastards.
