Police Identify 200 DNA Matches in 1983 Cheese Wire Murder of George Murdoch
Sep 26, 2024, 11:35 AM
Police have made significant progress in the cold case of the 1983 cheese wire murder of taxi driver George Murdoch. Utilizing advanced DNA technology, investigators have identified 200 possible genetic matches to a DNA profile recovered from the crime scene. This development follows the successful use of similar forensic techniques in the identification of Joseph Zarelli, previously known as 'The Boy in the Box,' in 2022. Authorities, including the StatenIslandDA, are hopeful that these advancements will help re-examine cold violent cases, bring justice to victims, and keep violent offenders behind bars.
