Wilson, NC - Rodney Vernon Cooke, suspected of killing his
roommate in Wilson on August 2, 1991, was arrested in Alpharetta, GA, this
morning by the U.S. Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force.
The investigation to locate Cooke, 46, also known as Gary
Reid and Gary Clark, received new life recently when an individual came in to
the Wilson Police Department and said they had seen Cooke in South Carolina.
The U.S. Marshals Service Eastern District of North Carolina Violent Fugitive
Task Force began searching for Cooke and soon discovered that he was residing
in Georgia under the alias Gary Reid, and that he had accumulated a criminal
history in several states under this identity.
This new information was passed along to the Marshals
Service in Atlanta, who quickly followed up and located Cooke early this
morning. Cooke is currently in the Fulton County Jail awaiting extradition to
North Carolina.
The E/NC Violent Fugitive Task Force is comprised of
investigators from the Marshals Service, Wilson Police Department, Raleigh
Police Department, N.C. DPS/Security Services, and N.C. State Highway Patrol.
