Louisiana Cops Solve Decades-Old Cold Case

0:00Louisiana cops just cracked a cold case from decades back, the murder of 16-year-old Roxanne Sharp. A podcast sparked tips from the public that helped investigators nail down her final days. Now four men in their 60s face charges for aggravated rape and second-degree murder. The suspects are Perry Wayne Taylor, 64, Daryl Dean Spell, 64, Carlos Cooper, 64, and Billy Williams, Jr. 62. Two were already locked up on other charges while the other two got arrested this week. Sharp knew them and hung around their neighborhood. Her family is breathing easier, hoping Justice brings healing after all these years. Sharp's niece spoke for them, grateful for the push that finally closed this chapter. One suspect's son insists his dad is innocent and wouldn't hurt a soul. Earlier, police thought serial killer Henry Lucas did it, but he recanted and evidence cleared him. The podcast even recreated the scene, showing she was grabbed off the street and dragged into the woods. Cold cases like this need persistence, and now Roxanne's loved ones can move to her peace as the legal process rolls on.
