Man Found Guilty Of 1985 Rape, Murder Of Indy Woman

INDIANAPOLIS -- A man was found guilty Wednesday in the 1985 rape and murder of an Indianapolis woman.

Jimmy Atteberry was arrested in 2007 in Missouri after DNA linked him to the crime.

Officials said Atteberry lived in the same apartment building as Lisa Lightfoot, 19, whose body was found a day after she was reported missing.

Police called Atteberry a person of interest in 1985. He had already been convicted of rapes in Missouri and Illinois.

Atteberry is scheduled to be sentenced on July 2.

Shortly after the arrest, Lisa Lightfoot's brother told 6News he was relieved.

"That's all I needed to hear," Joel Lightfoot said.
