FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: New Jersey Detective Closes 5 Year Trenton Cold Case On A&E ManHunters: Fugitive Task Force

Friday, May 06, 2011 (Trenton, New Jersey) – Trenton Detective, Luddie Austin is to re-appear on A & E TV, Manhunters: Fugitive Task Force on Thursday, May 12, 2011 where US Marshals attempt to apprehend, Henry Kidd and Darrell Scott, fugitives wanted for the death of state witness Kendra DeGrasse, who was found shot to death in her SUV in Trenton, New Jersey on March 24, 2005. Two years before her death, DeGrasse was slated to testify against her ex-boyfriend and gang member, Anthony Kidd for a 2001 shootout he had with police, but threats made towards her lead to the recant of her testimony on the witness stand.
