With the help of DNA evidence, police in Longueuil, Quebec identified Franklin Maywood Romine as the murderer of teenager Sharron Prior in 1975 in the Montreal suburb.
Prior was killed after she went to meet friends for pizza near her home and her body was found three days later in a wooded area.
Longueuil authorities said Romine’s DNA matched a sample found at the murder scene, confirming his link to the crime.Local West Virginia prosecutor Mark Sorsaia “It’s a combination of the most evil element in the human race, contacting the most innocent element in the human race – a child,” he said. “Some things are worse than death – losing a child like that, for a family, for a mom. To know that your child died that way.”The victim’s mother, Yvonne Prior, who is in her 80s, still lives in Canada.
