On February 9th, 1978, John B. Bryant was stabbed to death in the roadway at 321 E. Clarendon, during a robbery of his vehicle.   The case was worked extensively by detectives at the time, but ultimately the case went cold.  During the spring of 2011, the Cold Case Squad reopened the case.  They were able to review the case, after receiving funding as part of the 2010-2011 ARRA Governor's Public Safety Stabilization Program Grant.

 

This grant afforded the Cold Case team the opportunity to review all of the unsolved cases from the 1950's through the 1970's, as well as make strong progress on cases from the 1990's.  While working the case, detectives were able to take evidence obtained by investigators during the original investigation 33 years ago and submit it for testing with technology that did not exist back then.   Through this process, a forensic hit pointed investigators to Manuel Corona who was serving time in the Arizona Department of Corrections for unrelated charges.

 

Through their investigation, which included work by the entire Cold Case team, Manuel Corona was arrested while in the custody of the Arizona Department of Corrections in Tucson and booked into the Maricopa County Jail on February 2nd, 2012, charged with the murder of John B. Bryant 34 years after the crime.

 

Today at 1:30 p.m., we will brief the media on this case at Phoenix Police Headquarters at 620 W. Washington.  A representative of the Bryant family will be on hand to address the media as well.

 

 

Thank you,
