Man charged in Nailah Franklin's death


A man who briefly dated Nailah Franklin is now charged with the young Chicago woman's death. She was 28 years old when she was killed in September. Her nude body found in a wooded area. Police say cell phone activity conflicted with the alibi of the suspect, Reginald Potts Junior.

Nailah Franklin's family says, while this arrest won't bring her back, it is one more step along the road to recovery. Her's is a story that captured the city's attention. And Reginald Potts, the man now charged with Franklin's murder, is no stranger to law enforcement.

Over eight days, her family prayed, a community searched, but police now say Nailah Franklin was already dead. They believe Potts abducted and immediately murdered the pharmaceutical sales rep who he had briefly dated.


"I know everything done in the dark comes to the light, so I don't worry about that, I know justice will be served," said Ashley Franklin, Nailah's sister.
Police have always viewed Reginald Potts as a suspect. Shortly before she disappeared, Franklin told friends he had made threatening phone calls to her. She was in the process of getting a restraining order against him. [ABC] continue reading
