(CNN) DNA testing led to the arrest of man in the 35-year-old killing of a girl in Rochester, New York, police and prosecutors said in an emotional press conference on Friday. Timothy Williams, 56, was arrested at his home in Melbourne, Florida, on Wednesday and arraigned as a fugitive, according to Monroe County Assistant District Attorney Julie Hahn. In a tearful speech, Jerome's mother thanked the police department for the lengths it went to solve the case. "I never thought I would see this day, and now it's here," Marlene Jerome said. He passed away in 2011 and I know he's up there with her and they're smiling, saying, 'It's over, it's finally over.'"
