PERU, Ind. (The Kokomo Tribune) - DNA evidence has led to the arrest of a Mississippi man in connection to a 1992 cold case.
Indiana State Police arrested Timothy J. Jimerson, 52, after a DNA match from last year led detectives to him in March.
Jimerson has been arrested for the murder of Toni Spicer, a 27-year-old mother who was found beaten and strangled to death in her trailer in 1992, 24-Hour News 8’s news partner The Kokomo Tribune reports.
Jimerson is being held in Biloxi, Mississippi and is awaiting extradition to Peru to answer charges.
Leads over the years have produced no results, but in June 2011, a DNA match consistent with Jimerson was found in the National DNA Database.
Jimerson was interviewed by detectives on Tuesday where, according to the affidavit, he stated he was responsible for Spicer’s death.
