DALLAS, Texas — Officials have made an arrest in the murder of Zoe Hastings, who was found slain in her minivan after leaving her home for Church on October 11. DNA links Zoe’s killer to the scene, police say.
Hastings stopped at a Walgreens Redbox to return a movie where witnesses say a man entered her vehicle and drove away with her inside.
Her body was found the next day.
From Dallas Police: “We received the results from DNA tests conducted on physical evidence recovered from the crime scene. Those results showed a match with an individual in the DNA database.
The suspect identified as Antonio Lamar Cochran B/M 1-19-1981, matched the description of the witness who saw him abduct Zoe from the Walgreens and drive off with her.
We gave this information to our detectives assigned to the U.S. Marshall’s Fugitive Apprehension Team and in less than 8 hours they were able to locate and arrest him in an apartment in Northeast Dallas early this morning.”
The suspect has been taken to the Dallas County Jail and charged with Capital Murder and his bond is currently set at $1 Million dollars.
