headless and handless body found in Fishkill 42 years ago was identified
several months ago as a missing New York City woman.
New
York State Police say investigators had been working for the last
42 years to identify the body but were unable to do so due to technological and
forensic limitations.
However,
an identifiable DNA sample was obtained by the FBI’s Investigative Genealogy
Team, “in partnership with Othram, a private lab that specializes in cutting
edge forensic DNA analysis. Funding was provided by the National Missing and
Unidentified Persons System.”
On May
26, the victim was identified as Anna L. Papalardo-Blake. She was 44 at the
time of her death.
She
was reported missing to the NYPD and was last seen March 18, 1980 “leaving her
place of work, Vidal Sassoon, at 160 5th Avenue” where she was a receptionist.
State
police are asking anyone with information about the case to call 845-677-7300.
Use Reference No. 3020974.
