26 Years After a Penn State Student Was Brutally Raped and Beaten, Authorities Arrest a Suspect
26 Years After a Penn State Student Was Brutally Raped and Beaten, Authorities Arrest a Suspect
A Pennsylvania man has been arrested for the rape and beating of a Penn State college student more than two decades ago.
Scott R. Williams, of Reedsville, has been charged with eight counts, including rape, aggravated assault and robbery, Centre County District Attorney Bernie Cantorna announced during a news conference on Tuesday afternoon.
...
Investigators determined she had been attacked from behind while walking home and dragged to a flower bed, where she was raped and beaten with an object, according to an affidavit obtained by WJAC reports.
Cantorna said she had suffered fractures to her skull, face and jaw.
...
Over the next three years, Bosak and Eckley conducted numerous interviews and DNA testing until they had reconstructed a family tree that brought them, in January, to Williams's mother, who provided investigators with a DNA sample, authorities said.
Her sample confirmed that she was the mother of the suspect, McGraw said. The case was not the only the pair have been working on using the new technology.
