Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins said 30-year-old James Roscoe McAllister, of Lumber Ridge, surrendered to deputies on Thursday.
McAllister was previously wanted after a hit from a DNA profile resulted in Robeson County deputies and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation reopening the cold case and identifying him as a suspect.
