Police Arrest Suspect In Cold Case Slaying

Columbus police say they have found the suspect in a 26-year-old local murder in Rome, Georgia. 49-year-old Zina Roberson is accused of stabbing 77-year-old Anna Mae Florence to death in 1987 during a robbery attempt in her north side home. Florence's family urged police to reopen their investigation and a fresh look at evidence pointed to Roberson as the suspect.
