Police charged a 61-year-old man with murder 30 years after he allegedly abducted and killed a 12-year-old girl after she got off a Florida school bus, officials said Thursday.
A DNA match from another case helped police identify Jeffrey Norman Crum as the alleged culprit in Jennifer Odom's death, Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis said during a press conference. Crum is already serving two life sentences for sexual battery and attempted murder. A grand jury indicted him Monday on first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual battery charges in the Odom case.
"This is a bad guy who is very violent, who enjoyed violence, who enjoyed hurting people, particularly women, particularly taking advantage of them and raping them," Nienhuis said. "There's evidence in his history, and some of it is part of the case, that he was very violent when it came to his acts against women."
