>White's arrest was made after an intensive investigation by the sheriff's office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the State Attorney's Office, officials said.
The arrest was made possible with DNA evidence and interviews, officials said.
"This is another example of the partnerships between the Sheriff’s Office, FDLE and the State Attorney’s Office," Monroe Sheriff Rick Ramsay said in a statement. "We never give up on these cases and we will continue to seek justice no matter how long it takes."
