James Tillman, who was exonerated in 06-07 after serving 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, can look at this news story and see the face of the man who should have been in his place.

Hartford police have obtained an arrest warrant for Duane Foster, 47, on charges of first-degree kidnapping.

Hartford police Detective Michael Sheldon, investigators at the chief state’s attorney’s cold case unit and state Department of Correction officials announced on Thursday that a DNA match links Foster to the Jan. 22, 1988, sexual assault on Charter Oak Avenue.

The rape victim identified Tillman, then 26, as the attacker. He and Foster are of similar height and build and have similar facial features.
