Mother Relieved With Arrests in SC Cold Case
Wed, July 14, 2010
CHARLESTON — The mother of a sailor found dead 17 years ago in a South Carolina ditch calls it "great news" that two people have finally been arrested in her son's death.
The body of 22-year-old James Allen Horton was found with a gunshot wound to the chest in a ditch near Summerville just outside of Charleston in 1992.
Horton was stationed at the old Charleston Naval Base at the time.
Several news outlets report a Montana man was arrested last week in the case. Police in Long Island, N.Y., say a second man was arrested Tuesday.
The victim's mother, Rosaline (Ros a LYNN') Horton of Sherburne, N.Y., says her son was stationed aboard a minesweeper and had served two tours in the first Gulf War.
