Florida detectives have solved the brutal 1994 murder of an 89-year-old woman after an investigation culminated in digging up the grave of a former U.S. Marine who once lived near the victim's home, authorities said Tuesday.
On a Saturday in April 1994, 89-year-old Lillian DeCloe relaxed at her Pompano Beach home and awaited a visit later that day from a niece who helped care for her. That visit would never happen. Instead, violence and rage burst into Lillian’s quiet, peaceful home that day and a killer took her life. For 28 years, Lillian’s family wondered who could possibly murder this harmless woman who spent her life as a teacher and nurse, caring for others.
"Like an episode of 'CSI', a series of breakthroughs led to Lillian's killer, and the first emerged from DNA evidence recovered from Lillian's nightgown," the sheriff's office said in a statement."The killer left semen on the garment after he sexually assaulted Lillian. From that evidence, BSO's Crime Lab developed a suspect profile."
The known offender was deduced to be a possible close relative of the DNA contributor in DeCloe's murder, which led investigators to Brown.
