Gainesville Police Chief Brian Kelly says the suspect was taken into custody after an attack on a woman in Gainesville last week. They say it bore striking similarities to the death of 37-year-old Crystal Star Barnette in April 2001.
Police say a 39-year-old woman was attacked Wednesday night, but survived.
Kelly tells The Times of Gainesville that she and Barnette were walking when they were attacked, and both crimes happened less than a block apart.
The suspect, 40-year-old Daniel Lee Mason III of Atlanta, is charged with murder and aggravated assault in the 2001 case. It wasn't known whether he has an attorney.
