This backlog is horrendous

As much as it's frustrating to see these turds live full lives before getting caught, I hope stories like this strike fear into every similar turd with terrible skeletons in their closet. I want them to think of their victims every time they hear a knock at the door, never knowing if it's the police with an arrest warrant.

1994 wasn't 43... Was it 43 years ago? What year is it?

DNA was collected in 1994. The crime happened in 1979.

A random news article would be a hell of a way to find out you can’t remember the last decade and it’s actually 2033.

Not only this but also the amount of innocent people in prison waiting for the DNA test to be done to show their innocences.

The long arm of the law and all that… I’m glad they solved this case after all these years.

In 1994 there was a SA that isn't related to the murder. They collected DNA in 1994 that linked the perpetrator to the 1979 murder.

This article reminded me of an incident more than 20 (I have been corrected. Should read 10) years ago. The New York Post dedicated a full front page to a story about a murder linked to the Occupy Wall Street protests. A DNA sample was retrieved from a lock broken at a subway gate and it matched evidence from a Long Island killing a year or so prior.

It finely emerged that (1) the sample had been compromised by a lab technician and there was no match and (2) New York city had a backlog of 500 untested DNA samples from rape cases.

The city, in an OWS witch hunt, had gone to the trouble and expense to pursue a minor breach over 500 felony cases. The Post never issued a retraction. Exposure, however, did force the city into dealing with the backlog.

Maybe if we tested DNA kits instead of sending tanks and assault rifles to police departments…we might actually start solving some crimes.

badly written title. but thats not surprising i guess.

​

The Muder was in 1979.
There was a rape in 1994 where they got DNA.

was able to ID body in 2015

then just recently tested the DNA FROM 1994 This year 2023 or Last year 2022. and it was some 63 old man in Spokane Wa. they have arrested him btw

​

Jesus. Thats fucking awful. he was 20 when he killed her.

Occupy Wall Street happened in 2011... Far less than 20 years ago.

Kind of makes it tough to think anything else you said there was accurate.

>The long arm of the law and all...

I know I shouldn't but I can't stop imaging this reading in Dani Devito's voice from that Friends episode...

In their defense, the New York Post is an absolutely flooded toilet simmering in a dumpster fire.

That's some top quality police work right there.

So they could have put this guy away in 1994 after he raped someone else, and they never tested it so he walked free for 43 years instead of 15 years.

Wonder how many others this predator raped in the last 43 years.

You're absolutely correct. It's all pernicious lies. I tried to make it look like a typo but you caught me out. You clever dickens.

No shit I'm correct.

And you aren't informative or amusing.

Edited to add: being snide may be something you find amusing, but it would have been far less annoying if you simply corrected your error(s) and sourced your bullshit.

I totally agree with your assessment of the Post but they were reporting a story pushed by the city and the police.

> I'm correct

Just what is it you are correct about?

> you aren't informative or amusing

Yes I am.

Sorry bud but no you're not.

And if you're reading comprehension is so bad as to not know that I was obviously correct about when OWS happened (and that you were obviously incorrect) then I'm definitely wasting my time trying to converse with you.

Get your head out of your ass, quit trying to be funny, and accept and correct your mistakes when you're called on them.

It's not hard.
