The Cape Cod Times and the Boston Herald, citing unidentified sources, said authorities arrested a man Thursday who lives in a Hyannis rooming house and works as a trash hauler.

 

 

(CBS/AP) Prosecutors said they were ready to announce a "significant development" in the investigation of the slaying of a fashion writer three years ago, and published reports Friday said a suspect had been arrested.

 

Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe issued a statement saying an announcement would be made Friday afternoon in the death of Christa Worthington, 46, slain at her home in Truro in January 2002.

 

In recent months, authorities had taken DNA samples from dozens of men living in the area, looking for clues.

 

The Cape Cod Times and the Boston Herald, citing unidentified sources, said authorities arrested a man Thursday who lives in a Hyannis rooming house and works as a trash hauler.

 

State police on Friday refused to confirm or deny the reports. O'Keefe and Truro Police Chief John Thomas did not immediately return calls seeking further comment.

 

Worthington, 46, a New York fashion writer who moved to Massachusetts and became a single mother, was found stabbed to death on her kitchen floor. Her 2-year-old daughter was clinging to her body.

 

She had written for Elle and Harper's Bazaar magazines and The New York Times. Her family and friends offered a $25,000 reward for information.
