SAN JOSE — A man serving a lifetime prison sentence has been charged in the 1983 rape and killing of Tara Marowski, marking the second time he faces prosecution for her death, after authorities said newer DNA analysis methods tie him closer to the crime than when they initially charged him a decade ago and later dropped the case.

Christopher Melvin Holland, 67, was arraigned on a new murder charge last week, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office. The charge carries an allegation that Holland raped the 21-year-old Marowski, who was found dead on April 2, 1983 in the back seat of her car on a residential street in West San Jose near the Campbell border.
