Joao John Monteiro, 60, has filed a lawsuit against the Pawtucket, Rhode Island Police Department for wrongfully arresting him in 2019 for a 1988 murder
He was arrested for the death of Christine Cole, 10, who disappeared in 1988 in Pawtucket after investigators claimed DNA evidence linked him to the case
Just seven months later the charges were dropped because the DNA evidence was too broad and did not specifically point to Monteiro as the killer

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WLNE) – A former murder suspect accused of killing a 10-year-old girl in 1988 is now suing the City of Pawtucket and members of its police department for allegedly fabricating evidence leading to his false arrest.
Joao Monteiro was charged in 2019 with the 1988 killing of 10-year-old Christine Cole. Charges were dropped months later after the State Attorney General’s Office said there wasn’t enough evidence.
His attorney, Mark Loevy-Reyes, tells ABC 6 News that Monteiro had nothing to do with the murder and is seeking justice. He says his life has been up-ended by this case; he lost his job of 15 years and became homeless.
