DEAD MEN DO TALK  Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Gerald Abernathy literally got away with murder when Maryland police couldn't solve the death of Wendy Stark back in 1982. That is until Detective Joe Mudano found an evidence box from the cold case last year. Advances in DNA testing since the crime was committed, allowed investigators to make a match to Abernathy from a sample found on a cotton swab taken as evidence all those years ago. The positive identification was made when the test results were run through a nationwide database. Even though Abernathy died in prison last year while serving a life sentence for another murder in 1994, DNA testing brought closure to the case for Stark's family.
