TRIAL IN '72 COLD CASE SEX SLAY READY TO GO

MURDER NOT FORGOTTEN. Annie Mae Cray was a sweet southern woman who moved north with her three boys looking for a better life. And in 1947, she found it in Ezra Cray. Tommie Cray was just 9 when his dad hooked up with Annie.

"She brought everybody's spirit up, she was so lovable and friendly," reminisced Cray, now 72, as he sat on the edge of his bed in a cluttered studio apartment adorned with fading family portraits. "From day one, I loved her."

But on October 29, 1972 Annie--now blind from untreated glaucoma--was bludgeoned to death in a sex-driven frenzy. For decades, cops in Rochester, NY
had their eye on a suspect.
Sex offender Willie James Kimble. Now, Kimble, 78, is about to go on trial for the slaying. It will be the one of the USA's oldest cold case slayings solved by DNA. Willie left semen on a blanket in Annie's house.
