Let law enforcement run that information and make that determination,... he said during a news conference. ...However small it may seem, it's extremely vital that we get every tip we can get. Please, we need your help.... Patty still has hopes that the killer will be found. He said the murderers ...torn a hole in our families that will never heal.... The police ran a sketch of a potential suspect based on someone's description of who they believed they saw. ...We want to know who he is," State Police Sgt. Kim Riley said at a news conference at the time. "If we can get somebody to come forward with more information — if we can get a name or at least a location of this subject — that would be great."

We're going to have answers' and just reaffirm myself and say, 'It's hard, it's frustrating, it's been five years, but we're going to have answers eventually. It's coming.'" Read More on The US Sun
