LaPorte Man Charged with Murdering Teen in 1993

LAPORTE, Ind. (AP) _ Police in northern Indiana say a 38-year-old man has been charged with murder in the 1993 death of a 16-year-old girl.
 
LaPorte police said Friday that Jason Tibbs was arrested during a traffic stop as a result of cold case investigators looking into Rayna Rison's death for the past five years.
 
She went missing the night of March 26, 1993, after locking up at an animal hospital where she worked in LaPorte, about 25 miles west of South Bend. Her body was found a month later in a shallow pond.
 
Police said any more information would come from the LaPorte County prosecutor's office. A message seeking comment was left Friday by The Associated Press.

Tibbs is jailed without bond. Court records don't list an attorney for the LaPorte resident.
