The man arrested and charged with the murder of a woman visiting South Florida was flown to Miami late Friday. Kendrick Williams, 32, was arrested in Brooklyn, New York on January 15th and charged with the murder of Stepha Henry.
Henry, 22, a grad student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, was visiting South Florida, spending time with relatives and taking advantage of the activities surrounding Hip-Hop weekend in May of 2007, which is Memorial Day weekend.
She disappeared after going to a club in Sunrise with Williams.
The Miami Dade Police Department, during its investigation, explained that on Monday, May 28th, Henry went to a bar-b-que in Miramar at a friend's house where she met up with Williams.
The police said the two made plans to go to Peppers Café Nightclub, 3828 N. University Drive, in Sunrise the following night. During their night out, she was seen inside the club, but she dropped out of sight afterward.
Police said Williams and Henry arrived at the nightclub in a dark colored Acura Integra. Initially, Williams told investigators he had left the club early and that Henry had decided to stay there and she was never seen again.
Several months after Henry's disappearance, police located and impounded the Acura Integra driven by Williams on the night of Henry's disappearance.
Forensic analysis of the vehicle revealed substantial evidence, including blood, which detectives were able to conclusively link to Henry, according to Miami-Dade Police. No other details of that evidence have been released. Police have also not said where they believe Henry was killed. Her body has not been found.
Williams was tracked down living in a car at the Canarsie Pier in Brooklyn.
