For the second time in a year, authorities in a south Florida community have used DNA evidence to identify and arrest a suspect in a decades-old rape case. Timothy Norris, 60, is charged in the knifepoint rape of a Florida woman at her home in 1983, Coral Springs police spokesman Tyler Reik said Friday
1 / 2Old Rape Case-ArrestThis undated photo provided by the Coral Springs Police Dept. Shows Timothy Norris. , Aug. 16, 2019. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — For the second time in a year, authorities in a south Florida community have used DNA evidence to identify and arrest a suspect in a decades-old rape case.
In a separate case, Coral Springs police announced in August 2018 that re-testing of DNA evidence had led to the arrest of 59-year-old Frank Montana who's suspected of raping a woman in 1987 while wearing a ski mask and claiming he had a gun. Montana was extradited to Florida last year after serving prison time in Minnesota for a similar sexual assault.
In the Aug. 22, 1983, rape, the woman told investigators she awoke around 6 a.m. to find a stranger in her bedroom, according to an incident report. When she screamed, he told her three times that he wasn't going to hurt her."I have loved you for months," he reportedly told her when it was over."You have very nice children and a nice husband." He then put a pillow over her face and left.
In March, the victim in that case approached police about re-opening the investigation after she saw social media accounts about DNA re-testing that led to Montana's arrest in the 1987 case.
