Guthrie Case

Ellen Ferro, 21, was murdered in her Massachusetts home forty years ago. The case had been cold until DNA evidence came to light and the case became an active prosecution. On Tuesday Georgia man, Lonzo Guthrie, 69, was arrested under the suspicion of the murder. The suspect Guthrie had a job at Ferro’s house the day before the murder and was under no suspicion for the murder.

Investigators resubmitted the DNA evidence to from the Ferro case to re-evaluate for traces of DNA. Coincidentally Guthrie violated his parole in Los Angeles having to give DNA samples. The two DNA samples matched up breaking the four-decade-old case.  Guthrie was arrested in Douglas County, Georgia.
