""We never give up," Nassau County Police Detective Capt. Stephen Fitzpatrick told reporters. "There are no cold cases. Only open cases. "This technology has been extraordinary," Fitzpatrick said of the high-tech DNA testing that led to the break in the case. "This is just another positive identification utilizing the advances in DNA technology that is advancing every day.""
""Our investigation believed that she was moved, that she was possibly buried shortly after 1980 and then moved to this location in 82," he said, adding that it is unknown why the body was moved."
""If anyone remembers construction sites in 1981 or 1982, call us," he said."
Fifteen-year-old Susan Mann disappeared from Queens on May 17, 1980, and her remains were recovered from a Freeport dumpster on Nov. 4, 1982. The remains were buried as a Jane Doe and were exhumed this year for advanced DNA testing that was not available in the 1980s. Identification was made through the FBI Investigative Genealogy Program. Investigators believe the body may have been buried shortly after 1980 and later moved to the dumpster location in 1982, possibly due to nearby construction. A $25,000 reward is offered for information leading to an arrest and the homicide investigation remains active.
