Police said they identified Griffin through DNA with help from the GBI.

Authorities previously had released sketches of the suspect, as well as referring to him as armed and dangerous.
Outstanding DeKalb warrants for Griffin’s arrest include two counts of rape, four counts of aggravated assault and home invasion, Williams said.
