    DNA evidence led to the arrest of a North Carolina prison inmate in
    connection to a 26-year-old Charlotte rape case, Charlotte-Mecklenburg
    Police said in a news release Tuesday. In June 1992, a 27-year-old woman
    was raped in the 2200 block of Rama Road after she accepted a ride home
    from a man, CMPD’s news release said.

    The assailant “dragged” the woman from his car and “forced” her into a dumpster , according to the news release. He then drove away, police
    said. “The victim was treated at the hospital and a sexual assault kit
    was collected,” CMPD’s news release said. “The sexual assault kit was initially tested in 1992, and additional testing was completed on it in
    2017 as a part of a federal grant CMPD received.” Police said, “DNA evidence confirmed Kenneth McIllwaine as the suspect.

    The 52-year-old McIllwaine is in Tabor City Correctional Institute for a
    1995 rape, police said. In that case, he was identified through DNA in
    2015, according to the CMPD news release. In the Charlotte cold case,
    police charged McIllwaine with first-degree kidnapping and second-degree
    rape.
