A 46-year-old man is in custody in the 2007 slaying of a teenage girl whose body was found stuffed into a cardboard box on the Northwest Side and who was not identified for a year after the slaying, police said.
An arrest warrant was obtained by Grand Central Area detectives Friday in the slaying of Marlaina "Niki" Reed, 17, a ward of the state who often ran away from the group home in Chicago where she lived, sources said.
The man was taken into custody near his home Friday afternoon without incident.
DNA recovered from cords used to bind the girl links the man to the crime scene, sources said.
The suspect came to detectives' attention in April 2009 when officers were called there and found his dog stabbed to death in a bathtub. He also had been ordered put on court supervision in a 2008 battery case, and has been arrested in the past on domestic battery and other misdemeanor charges.
Police declined to release the identity of the suspect Friday night pending final review of the charges by the Cook County state's
attorney's office

McIntosh was ordered held without bail at a court hearing this morning. Dressed in jeans and a leather jacket, he appeared for a few seconds before Judge Donald Panarese.
"What am I charged with?" McIntosh asked.
"Murder," the judge answered bluntly.
