A Florida man<\/a> who contacted authorities saying he had information about a 1987 killing was instead arrested and facing a murder charge, investigators said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced that Gary Edward Glowacz, 70, was arrested Wednesday in connection with the killing of 20-year-old Melissa Ellison.<\/p>\n

Police said Glowacz contacted the sheriff’s office Wednesday and told investigators he wanted to provide information about Ellison’s death.<\/p>\n

Detectives interviewed Glowacz before obtaining an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n

He was booked into the Duval County Jail on charges of murder<\/a> and burglary with battery.<\/p>\n

Officials celebrated the arrest, which comes nearly four decades after the case went cold<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Television shows condition us to believe that homicide cases that are not solved within the first 48 hours will not be solved,” Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said during a news conference. “That is patently false.”<\/p>\n

“While his arrest cannot fill the enormous void left in the hearts of Melissa Ellison’s loved ones, I hope that this arrest is another step in the healing process,” he added.<\/p>\n

Police responded to a home on Colejean Road at about 4:40 a.m. on Dec. 28, 1987, after receiving a report of a deceased person.<\/p>\n

Ellison’s body was found by authorities in her bed with injuries consistent with blunt force trauma, according to police.<\/p>\n

Investigators said Ellison’s roommates checked on her after hearing her toddler crying on the living room couch.<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s office thanked First Coast Crime Stoppers, the State Attorney’s Office, Project Cold Case and the Clay County Sheriff’s Office for their work on the investigation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
