Nassau County prosecutors believe they have finally solved the 1984 killing of 16-year-old Theresa Fusco, a crime that has frustrated investigators for more than 40 years.
Richard Bilodeau, 63, who works the overnight shift at a Suffolk County Walmart, pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder in the second degree at his arraignment on Wednesday. One count was for intentional murder and the other count was for murder during a rape.
His arrest comes more than two decades after three men, who had been imprisoned for more than 17 years for the crime, were released after advanced DNA techniques showed no link between them and DNA from a vaginal swab of the victim. One of them, John Kogut, had given police a confession to the murder that he later recanted.
