GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – What led police to suspect a Racine man 34 years after he allegedly killed a woman in Green Bay?
That’s one of the questions Green Bay police might answer in a news conference today.
The news conference comes four days after police announced the arrest of 65-year-old Lou Archie Griffin for the murder of Lisa Holstead. The 22-year-old’s body was found Aug. 12, 1986, in a swamp in what is now the Ken Euers Nature Area.
According to a criminal complaint, investigators linked Griffin to the murder by matching his DNA to a sample found at the scene.
Police tracked Griffin and got his DNA from beer cans and a cigarette he threw away.
The complaint says Griffin initially denied ever seeing Holstead. However, when presented with the DNA evidence, he said he must have had sex with her but did not kill her. He said he did not remember having sex with her.
A $1 million cash bond was issued for Griffin last week. He is due back in court December 10th.
