McDowell County Man Indicted on NYC Rape Charges

Posted: Updated:

A McDowell County man is indicted on charges he raped a 73-year-old bird watcher in New York's Central Park.

The indictment against David Albert Mitchell came down today.

He was not there.

He has been in jail since his arrest last week on rape and other charges.

Authorities in West Virginia have said Mitchell was acquitted of a murder charge two decades ago and was considered a person of interest in another slaying that remains unsolved.
