DNA and a 20-year-old genealogy expert helped state police identify the man who abducted, raped and murdered a young girl nearly six decades ago.
HAZLETON, Pennsyvlania -- DNA and a 20-year-old genealogy expert helped state police identify the man who abducted, raped and murdered a young girl in a case that rattled a Pennsylvania coal town nearly six decades ago, officials announced Thursday.
Her body was found that afternoon in a nearby waste coal pit. Authorities say she was raped and strangled. Generations of state police investigators pursued Marise's killer - more than 230 members of the department were involved in the probe at one time or another - but Forte's name did not come up until 2020.
State police made the announcement at a news conference packed with current and retired investigators - including the trooper who first probed Marise's murder - and the little girl's four siblings and extended family.
