Negro Arrested After DNA Testing Proves He Killed White Woman 22 Years Ago

Crista Bramlitt and Kenneth Hudspeth.

Welp, we’ve just moved another step closer toward the government banning DNA tests for crime solving purposes.

Waaaaaaaaay too much skin-hatred coming out of those things these days.

Leaf-Chronicle:

Twenty-two years after a mysterious, grisly murder in a New Providence mobile home park, Clarksville Police have made an arrest on the other side of the country.

On the afternoon of Oct. 28, 1996, Crista Bramlitt, 23, was found dead on the floor of her living room with injuries to her throat, according to Leaf-Chronicle archives.

She was found by her landlord at the mobile home she rented at 418 Peachers Mill Road, Lot 45, in the Sunnydale Mobile Home Park.

An autopsy revealed the cause of death was suffocation, according to Clarksville Police spokesman Jim Knoll.

During the autopsy, a sexual assault evidence collection kit was completed and sent to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab for analysis. A DNA profile was loaded into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) in hopes of a possible match. There, the evidence sat for 22 years, waiting for the suspect to emerge.

On Feb. 13, 2019, Clarksville Police Detective Michael Ulrey received word of a hit in the CODIS system. Someone in Phoenix, Arizona, had been entered into the system with matching DNA.

The match was for a Kenneth Hudspeth, now 48.

Kenneth Hudspeth, who was 25 at the time, wasn’t known to investigators, and he “flew under the radar,” Knoll said.
