Sexual assault evidence was sent to Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab for analysis.
Detective Michael Ulrey received an official Combined DNA Index System report in February that stated a preliminary association to a subject was made from a previously submitted evidence. T
he alleged perpetrator was identified as Kenneth Hudspeth who was taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide in Phoenix, Arizona.
Hudspeth is being transported to Clarksville where he will be booked into the Montgomery County Jail.
