A break in the case came recently in the form of a DNA test by the suspect's son. It enabled police and the FBI to submit DNA left on Eve Wilkowitz's body to consumer DNA databases that include countless people outside the criminal justice system.
BAY SHORE, Long Island -- A Long Island cold case more than four decades old has finally been cracked and the identity of the killer is now known.
Investigators took a sample of the bone from Rice's corpse to extract the DNA. They said it was a match to the DNA from Rice's body. On Wednesday, Suffolk County police and prosecutors announced that Rice, who died of natural causes in 1991, was the killer. He had lived near the spot where Wilkowitz's body was found three days after she never came home.
