COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—A man already in jail has been charged with kidnapping and sexual assault on a child in a 10-year-old case.
Colorado Springs police charged 37-year-old Gerardo Garcia Cruz, who was being held at the Terry Harris Judicial Complex on unrelated charges that were not disclosed. Police said they made the arrest in the 10-year-old case on Monday after matching the man’s DNA.
According to investigators, a 14-year-old girl was abducted in 2001 as she walked along a highway. In 2009, the investigation was assigned to the Cold Case Sexual Assault Unit, which used biological samples from the suspect to make the arrest.
