She is currently undergoing testing by Ramapo College.
Case[]
The victim's decomposed body was found lying face-down on an embankment about 50 feet behind the Interstate Mall in Altamonte, Florida. It was determined she was killed in the same spot her body was dumped. She had been stabbed twice and was possibly sexually assaulted, as her pants were pulled down and her shirt was pulled up.
In 1982, Gerald Stano confessed to her murder. He said he had picked her up while she was hitchhiking on the Interstate 4, had argued with her and ended up murdering her. His confession is believed to be credible.
