On Aug. 8, 1998, a 38-year-old woman was left on the side of a residential road offU.S. 278 outside Avondale Estates. Monica Faye Blackwell had been raped and killed, and the assailant was gone. <\/p>\n

Now the man accused is in the DeKalb County jail. Samuel McCullum, 52, was connected to Blackwells death by DNA after his 2002 unlawful imprisonment of a 17-year-old girl in Kentucky, according to the DeKalb DAs office. <\/p>\n

McCullum was extradited to Georgia last week after completinghis sentence in Kentucky. He faces charges of rape and murder in Blackwells death and is also awaiting trial in another local rape, the DAs office said. <\/p>\n

Warrants released this week to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution dont specify how McCullum is accused of killing Blackwell. But the documents say he killed her and dumped her on the side of Porter Road at about 11 p.m. <\/p>\n

The DAs office declined to release further information on the case. <\/p>\n
