The victim had been cleaning offices nearby, and when she walked out to her car, she was knocked out, transported to another location and raped.
The hood of the woman’s car was spray-painted with "3 Horsemen," and the vehicle, with her inside, was discarded in a pond, though she lived and spent the following years searching for justice.
State Attorney General Josh Stein’s office said in a press release that in 2006, the Fayetteville Police Department submitted a sexual kit from the woman’s case to the North Carolina State Crime Lab.
Since the crime happened, several advancements in DNA technology have allowed for better testing.
After undergoing more advanced testing, the crime lab identified a DNA sample that was uploaded to the Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS.
The department received funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s FY2015 National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative Grant and reopened the case in 2015.
Efforts into solving the case resumed, though they went cold again.
But in October 2020, the department received a notification from the state crime lab that it matched DNA with the DNA of Roy Junior Proctor, who was 46 at the time.
In November 2020, the Fayetteville Police Department’s Cold Case Unit announced it had made an arrest in connection to the 1992.
Police arrested Roy Junior Proctor in November 2020 and charged him with first-degree attempted murder, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree rape, first-degree sex offense and felonious larceny.
