rive in Richland County.
Richland County officers went to Memphis on Wednesday and brought Kennedy back to the Midlands.
Kennedy h
as lived in Memphis and New Orleans. While in South Carolina, deputies learned that Kennedy was a disc jockey at both a Columbia nightclub and an Orangeburg nightclub.
Kennedy was staying at the Scottish Inn at the time of the murder and was initially interviewed by investigators. In November of 2003, Mullet's case was turned over to the Sheriff's Department's Cold Case Unit, which began re-interviewing people and locating new witnesses. Kennedy was picked out of a photo lineup by witnesses who saw him arguing with Mullet in the early evening of December 21, and then saw Kennedy go back into the Scottish Inn office shortly before the murder.
Mullet's former wife, Marrita, had offered a $9,000 reward for information that would lead to an arrest and conviction in her husband's murder.
