Frank Mccray is a Caucasian on death
row in the state of Arizona. He was convicted on 11/29/2005.
Crime
According to the DOC, On May 21,
1987, the victim, Chestene Cummins, was at home preparing to leave on
a trip to California with her boyfriend. She had taken the day off
work to run errands and pack. McCray somehow gained access to her
apartment, most likely while in the neighborhood committing
burglaries. When the victim’s boyfriend arrived home from work, he
found her body laying in the bedroom. She had been sexually
assaulted, beaten and strangled to death. The physical evidence
demonstrated that the victim had put up a significant struggle during
the assault. Law enforcement officers were unable to solve the crime
at the time, but they preserved in evidence a sexual assault swab
test kit and the cord used to strangle the victim. In 2000, a Phoenix
Police Department cold case detective submitted the evidence for DNA
analysis at the Arizona Department of Public Safety Crime Lab. The
DPS lab technicians were able to identify McCray from semen through a
CODIS hit. McCray’s DNA profile had been entered into the CODIS
database from a previous conviction for sexual assault on another
young woman subsequent to the murder. McCray’s DNA was also
confirmed on the cord used to strangle the victim.
