A man arrested last Friday night on un-related charges became a murder suspect Sunday and has now been officially charged with the murder of Johnia Berry.

Taylor Lee Olson, 22, of Knoxville, is charged with seven counts in the death of Johnia Berry. Olson was indicted by the grand jury Monday morning.
Olson has been arrested in Sevier County in the past on un-related charges.

Knox County Sheriff J.J. Jones credited cooperation between the sheriff's office, federal authorities, and the TBI with the arrest and indictments.
Berry, 21, was stabbed to death on December 6th, 2004. Berry banged on neighbors' doors at her apartment complex in Knoxville following the attack but without a response. Unidentified blood from a white male was found at the scene.
