SHREWSBURY, Mass. (AP) -- Prosecutors say a Georgia man has been arrested in the killing of a young Shrewsbury, Mass., woman, a few weeks before the 40th anniversary of her death.<br />
<br />
Tim Connolly, spokesman for Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early, said 69-year-old Lonzo Guthrie of Austell, Ga., was arrested Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Connolly tells the Worcester Telegram & Gazette ((http://bit.ly/1eUTuPn )) that DNA evidence linked Guthrie to the slaying of 21-year-old Eileen Ferro, found fatally stabbed at her home on Feb. 22, 1974.<br />
<br />
Connolly said Guthrie is fighting extradition after being arraigned on a fugitive charge in Georgia. He faces a murder charge in Massachusetts. It's not known who is representing him.<br />
<br />
Ferro's sister Nancy Donnelly says her family is elated there's a break in the case. She said her parents died without a resolution and she had feared she might as well.
