A Louisiana man jailed on robbery charges since September is named as a prime suspect in the August 1990 Gainesville killings of five University of Florida students. Danny Rolling, 36, held in Marion County on a Sept 7, 1990 Ocala grocery hold up, also faces Louisiana charges for attempted second-degree murder of his father.
