SOLVED - The Murder of Jennifer Persia [Ep 153]

Sixteen year old Jennifer Persia had everything going for her. She played saxophone in the school band, was on the color guard and was becoming a breakout athlete. As a freshman, she was on the varsity track team and medaled in a competition against mostly seniors.

Then one quiet, Monday night, someone stole away everything she hoped to be, shattered a family and rocked a small town. On April 4th, 1994, an unknown killer, or killers, entered Jennifer's home and brutally murdered the sixteen year old over a matter of just $200.

UPDATE
After more than 30 years, DNA has conclusively identified Jennifer's killer. Not only has her case been solved through the use of genetic genealogy, but it was also discovered that Jennifer was not the monster's only victim. Twenty-four year old Marebeth Welsh, murdered five months before Jennifer, has also been identified as the victim of thirty-nine year old Francis Schooley.
