Police: DNA Leads to Arrest in 1997 Killing
posted 6:39 am Thu October 18, 2007 - Washington
Police say 52-year-old John Williams is charged with felony murder in the death of 36-year-old Thurman "Craig" Brown during a July 17th, 1997, holdup at the D.C. Teachers Federal Credit Union on 'D' Street Northeast. Brown was shot four times while struggling with a gunman. Police say the FBI reported in June that DNA from a baseball cap that fell off the gunman's head matched that of Williams, who was in the FBI database.
After police got the information from the FBI, they developed their case until this week, when they were able to make an arrest. Williams is being held without bond.
