A man has been arrested in Lakeside in connection to the July 2011 homicide of his ex-girlfriend.
San Diego County sheriff’s deputies arrested 44-year-old David Williams in connection to the death of 38-year-old Christine Crosby.
Deputies said the two had been off-and-on dating and Williams was her former boyfriend.
Crosby was last seen by a friend on July 5, 2011. More than three weeks later, after she was reported missing, her body was found in a shallow grave on Old Highway 80 in Boulevard.
An autopsy concluded Crosby died after being strangled, according to a San Diego Sheriff’s Department news release.
Prosecutors filed charges against Williams last week, and on Saturday, detectives arrested him in Lakeside without incident.
He will make his first appearance in Superior Court on Wednesday.
