Smoothie Straw Cracks a 41 Year Old Murder Case

from Real-Time Crime · host iHeartPodcasts

This week, 63 year old Richard Bilodeau was arrested for the 1986 rape and murder of 16 year old Theresa Fusco after DNA from his smoothie straw linked him to the brutal crime. And get this, it was DNA that exonerated 3 men who had already served 17 years for Fusco’s murder. Amy and T.J. talk about the latest developments in this case and emotional reaction from Theresa’s father as well as the cautionary tale this story provides about our justice system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
