FBI Arrests Man Over Double Murder That Has Baffled Investigators for Decades
On 2/9/21 at 11:59 AM EST
FBI agents have charged a Tennessee man with the murders of a mother and her 4-year-old daughter after DNA evidence allegedly linked the suspect to the decades-old case.
Victor Lofton, 57, of Humboldt, Tennessee, was charged in Lake County Superior Court, Indiana, last Tuesday over the gruesome 1992 murders of Felicia Howard, 21, and her daughter, DenNisha Howard.
The charges were brought against Lofton following a probe by the FBI s Gang Response Investigation Team (GRIT) who reopened the cold case in February 2019.
According to detectives, Lofton denied having known either victim and to having been in Indiana during the murders when he was interviewed by investigators in September, last year. But DNA evidence and witness testimony gave investigators enough information to bring a case against Lofton, according to detectives.
