DNA from the man charged in the July homicide of Renee Eldridge matches evidence from her reported rape in Columbus in December 2014, though Eldridge accused another man in that case, testimony revealed Tuesday in Chambers County, Ala.
Murder suspect Stacey Gray’s DNA cleared the suspect initially charged with raping Eldridge in her Columbus home, and Gray now is being charged with that sexual assault, Sgt. Clay Tucker of the Valley, Ala., police department testified during Gray’s hearing before Chambers County Circuit Judge Calvin Milford.
According to the Columbus police warrant charging the first suspect, Eldridge was raped on Dec. 22, 2014, and her hands and feet were bound during the assault. That suspect’s attorney was Kyle Fischer, who Tuesday said his client, an Army Ranger, was held without bond for ten weeks before he was released, and Columbus police did not officially clear him until July 17.
The Columbus case charging the Ranger with rape and false imprisonment was assigned to Assistant District Attorney Wesley Lambertus, who Tuesday declined to comment beyond confirming the Ranger was released as soon as the evidence test showed the DNA did not match.
It was unclear whether Gray had a criminal record sufficient to have his DNA included in the FBI’s national DNA database known as CODIS, or whether investigators here sought to have the DNA profile derived from the 2014 rape checked through that system.
Fischer said Gray was in prison in Ohio from 1994 until 2003, having been convicted of assaulting two police officers.
