A murder victim whose body was found face down in a Florida canal in 1984 has finally been identified, 40 years later.
Lori Jane Kearsey was just 23 when she went missing after marrying into an infamous Boston crime family.
She was found dead in a canal on the 2600 block of Southwest 130th Avenue in Davie, South Florida on February 18, 1984, having been strangled.
Despite releasing her description, blonde, hazel eyes, 5’4 and 120 pounds, police were not able to identify the victim.
However, a breakthrough came when the use of DNA from Kearsey’s bone fragments led investigators to find a match with her daughter Maehgan Smith, who lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
