“I think it’s an understatement to say that the victim’s family was devastated,” Racicot added. He noted that Sharron’s mother Yvonne is still alive and is now 85. “She spent her whole life trying to find her daughter’s killer. That’s why we never gave up on it over the years,” he said. “Of course, Sharron’s mother wants to know once and for all who killed her daughter.”Article content
Romine, whose criminal record began when he was a child, was on the run from the law in West Virginia at the time of Prior’s death. On parole since 1973, he was facing new charges of breaking and entering and rape. He fled to Montreal, a city he had visited on at least two earlier occasions, Racicot said.Article content
“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.Article content
