(Sept. 25) -- A Louisiana man has been charged with the murder of a Texas teenager, 14 years after her body was found.
Kevin Smith, a 45-year-old welder, was arrested at his workplace on Wednesday. Police say DNA records led them to him.
Prosecutors say that Smith killed Krystal Jean Baker, 13, then left her body under a bridge.
The arrest "is a miracle from God and all the angels,'' said the girl's mother, Jeanie Escamilla, according to the Houston Daily Chronicle.
Baker was last seen storming out of her grandmothers' house in Texas City on March 5, 1996, after the two had an argument. Later in the day, the girl made calls from a nearby tire shop asking friends and family members to come pick her up. They didn't get to her in time.
