• Alleged admission, DNA evidence link husband of missing Charleston woman to NJ cold case homicide (postandcourier.com) — Vernon police officers played a role in a renewed Sussex County investigation that helped link a South Carolina man to a 1990 New Jersey homicide through DNA and an alleged confession. Authorities say new forensic testing and a witness account connected the suspect, long tied to his wife’s disappearance, to the cold case killing of Lisa Marie McBride.
