A Smoothie Straw Solved a 40-Year Murder Mystery.

A Smoothie Straw Solved a 40-Year Murder Mystery.

In 1984, 16-year-old Theresa Fusco was fired from her job at a Long Island roller rink and vanished while walking home. Weeks later, her body was found brutally murdered. Police arrested three local men—John Kogut, Dennis Halstead, and John Restivo—and despite a lack of physical evidence, all three were convicted. They spent nearly twenty years behind bars for a crime they didn’t commit.

Decades later, advances in DNA technology uncovered the truth. Evidence from the crime scene matched Richard Bilodeau, a man who lived near the rink and ran a coffee truck in the area. Detectives confirmed the match using DNA from a discarded smoothie straw Bilodeau used, finally solving the 40-year-old case.

After all this time, has justice finally been served for Theresa Fusco?
