A suspect is in custody in the death of 18-year-old Zoe Hastings, Dallas police announced Saturday.
Hastings was found dead in her family's white Honda Odyssey on the morning of Oct. 12, the day after she disappeared somewhere between her home and church.
Police said test results of evidence collected at the scene revealed a match in the DNA database, and a suspect was identified as Antonio Lamar Cochran, 34.
Members of the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Apprehension Team located Cochran and arrested him Saturday, police said.
Cochran is charged with capital murder and is held at the Dallas County Jail on a $1 million bond.
Police had previously said Hastings stopped at the Walgreens near the intersection of Garland and Peavey roads to return a Redbox DVD and that a witness observed a black male get into the minivan with her before they drove away.
