INDIANAPOLIS — A Missouri man has been charged in the 1993 rape and slaying of a young Indianapolis woman after his DNA matched evidence found at the crime scene and on the victim’s body, authorities said.
Shepherd was being held without bond Wednesday at Missouri’s Boone County Jail, and an extradition hearing is to be held in the coming days, the police department said in a news release. Deputy Chief Kendale Adams of the police department’s criminal investigations division said Tuesday in a statement that he hopes Shepherd’s arrest brings Van Huss’ family “some measure of peace.”Van Huss’ father found her dead in her Indianapolis apartment in March 1993 after she failed to show up for work. An autopsy found she had been raped and was stabbed 61 times, according to court records.
In 2018, the department submitted a sample of DNA found at the scene to a specialty company. Last year, detectives used that company’s genetic genealogy analysis to identify Shepherd as a suspect. They then collected DNA from Shepherd in February and found that it matched that found on Van Huss’ body and the paper bag.NEW YORK — To hear Frances Tiafoe tell it, Taylor Fritz predicted this sort of moment for the two of them. And for American men’s tennis.
