Grand jury indicts mystery rape suspect

The Franklin County Grand Jury has issued indictments for aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and rape against an unknown suspect.

The crimes date back to a home invasion and assault of a 41-year-old woman in 1997. Evidence in the case has been preserved and with scientific advancement, DNA testing was able to happen this year. No matches were found in the system, but having an indictment issued against a ‘John Doe’ suspect gives prosecutors 25 years on the statute of limitations and the ability to plug in the attacker’s name if that person is discovered.
