Authorities in the Permian Basin have now identified the man they believe violently raped a 49-year-old woman in a mall parking lot in Midland almost 30 years ago.

Last month, James Lee Woodard, now 61, was arrested in Big Spring and charged with aggravated sexual assault.

On Sept. 1, 1997, Midland Police Department officers responded to the Midland Park Mall after a woman reported being sexually assaulted in the parking lot.
