He was arrested that afternoon and pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder Friday morning in Suffolk Superior Court. Investigators say they found Holloman’s paycheck next to Taylor’s body as well as DNA evidence of an unknown male who they say they matched to Holloman just last year.

Prosecutors said DNA technology helped investigators crack the cold case and charge a suspect in Karen Taylor's 1988 stabbing death.

Authorities said Holloman is facing a first-degree murder charge after being indicted and arrested by the Boston Police fugitive unit on Thursday in connection to the 1988 stabbing death of 25-year-old Karen Taylor, a resident of Boston's Roxbury neighborhood.
