Justice has been a long time coming for one North Carolina woman, but after nearly 30 years, a suspect in her 1992 rape has been found and arrested.
Roy Junior Proctor, 46, is one of three men responsible, Fayetteville police say, and that
two other suspects are still at large.
The department’s cold case unit linked Proctor to the crime using DNA, matching a sample taken from him in September of this year to the DNA from the victim’s decades-old rape kit, officials said during a Monday news conference.
Proctor is charged with attempted first-degree murder, kidnapping, rape, sex offense and larceny. He remains in the Cumberland County Detention Center with bail set at $1 million.
The victim was cleaning offices at Lafayette Memorial Park in Fayetteville, and as she walked out to her car she was knocked unconscious, thrown into a trunk, driven out to a wooded area, raped, beaten, and left to die, Petty said.
