A Montreal teen was killed almost 50 years ago. Now her suspected killer’s body is being exhumed
Longueuil police Det. Eric Racicot told a West Virginia court last month — as police sought a court order allowing them to exhume Romine’s body — that Prior’s pants had been removed and she had been sexually assaulted.
He said DNA was gathered from Prior’s clothing and from a shirt used to restrain her. Last June, Racicot said, he checked that DNA against a database containing thousands of profiles identified by their family names. That database led police to the Romine family name.Racicot said Romine also matched the description of a man who had attempted to kidnap another woman at knifepoint shortly before Prior disappeared.
“He probably did it,” he responded when investigators shared their suspicions that his brother had killed Prior, according to the court document. Sorsaia wrote that the analysis “strongly indicated” that the DNA found at the crime scene was connected to the Romine family.“The results showed that it is 140 million times more likely to come from the brother of Noah and Michael Romine than any other random person in the Caucasian population,” Sorsaia wrote.
Longueuil police travelled to West Virginia for the exhumation. Romine’s DNA is now being tested at a Montreal laboratory, and Charette said it will take at least two weeks to obtain the results.
