GARY, Ind. (WIBC) — On Nov. 26, 1991, John Thomas Currie, was found stabbed to death inside his apartment on Carolina Street in Gary.
Currie, 35, was found by family members.
On Tuesday, the FBI arrested the man they believe killed him.
Quentin Maurice Smith, 50, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was charged with the murder on June 17 and arrested Tuesday by investigators from the FBI Milwaukee Area Violent Crimes Task Force and GRIT.
