Posted on April 6th, 2010 in Atlanta escorts
ATLANTA — The murder trial of a 49-year-old man charged with strangling a woman and leaving a note reading, “I’m back Atlanta, Mr. X” next to her nude body is underway.
Jury selection in the case against Michael Harvey is set to begin Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.
He is charged with felony murder, aggravated assault and aggravated sodomy in the 1994 death and rape of 39-year-old Valerie Payton.
Payton’s nude body was discovered in southeast Atlanta during the height of several unsolved murders targeting Atlanta prostitutes in the early 1990s.
Prosecutors say the case was unsolved for more than a decade until DNA evidence linked Harvey to the crime in 2005.
