CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Clayton County police have identified a person of interest in the gruesome killing of a young mother.

Demetrist Potts, 28 was tortured and killed at her Jonesboro home in April 2008. Police said two men broke into her house to rob her. They said the killer tried to strangle Potts with a cable cord, then cut her throat.
