A man who had long been considered a person of interest in the killing of a 21-year-old South Florida woman has been arrested after 38 years, officials said. Ralph Williams, 59, was arrested Monday in Jacksonville and charged with the death of Carla Lowe, whose beaten body was found Nov. 13, 1983, on a roadside, Delray Beach police said Tuesday.
Lowe had last been seen waiting for a train at an Amtrak station in Delray Beach but she never made it on board, CBS Miami reported.
Detectives said they searched the area for hours but never found anyone who had seen or heard anything suspicious. The same day her body was found, Delray Beach police arrested Williams on grand theft auto and burglary charges, records show.
Two years after her 5-year-old daughter Allie was killed by a driver who ran a stop sign, Jessica Hart wants to know why little has changed. Despite repeated promises from local and federal transportation officials to slow down traffic and make streets safer in her community and around the country, the grieving Washington, D.C., mother said she hears a lot of talk, but little action.
Earlier this week, Rev. Greg Lewis, an assistant pastor at St. Gabriel's Church of God In Christ in Milwaukee, physically carried one of his parishioners to the polls inside the city's Midtown early voting center to cast a ballot in Wisconsin's upcoming Democratic primary. Supported by crutches and the pastor himself, the disabled man was one of many residents Lewis has helped vote this cycle.
