Arrest Made in 25-year-old Murder

Sheriff's officials have made an arrest in a 25-year-old cold case involving the murder of a woman in Gibsonton.

Sharon Lorraine Moss's body was discovered Jan. 27, 1986, on a backroad in an area known as "Whiskey Stump," south of Gibsonton.

Wearing only a T-shirt, Moss had been stabbed to death, according to the sheriff's office.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office now believes it has the man responsible for her murder.

Deputies say DNA evidence led deputies to George Shrader, 44, of Ruskin. Shrader was arrested at 4:52 p.m. Thursday.

At the time of Moss' murder, deputies collected evidence from the crime scene. That evidence, including a semen and blood samples, was entered into the Department of Law Enforcement's database. In December, the DNA was matched to Shrader, an arrest report states. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's office submitted the evidence to further analysis and concluded that the DNA belonged to Shrader.

Shrader is charged with first-degree murder and sexual battery.
