New DNA techniques finally put a name to her face.
But for more than 20 years, the name of her suspected killer was no secret.
In an interview with Newsday at the time, Donna Kinlaw had recounted how her husband in the summer of 1982, brought a girl of about 18 years old back to their Central Islip home and had sex with her. She told the newspaper as well as police that her husband left with the woman but later returned home alone, appearing shaken.
“He kept saying: ‘What’s it say, what’s it say? Does it say who the person was who got killed?’” she said her husband asked. Not long afterward, investigators exhumed her body to recover the murder victim’s femur bone, in hopes of using her DNA to identify her. And in fact, investigators acknowledged that Arthur Kinlaw confessed to the New Jersey murder in written statements dating back to 2005.According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the murdered teen’s molar and eyelash were submitted to last year Astrea Forensics of California, for possible DNA extraction.
