Man charged in 41-year-old cold case murder of 16-year-old Long Island girl, Theresa Fusco
NASSAU COUNTY, New York — Authorities on Long Island believe they have closed a murder case that had been open for more than 40 years.
In November 1984, 16-year-old Theresa Fusco disappeared after she was fired from her job working the snack bar at Hot Skates, a roller rink in Lynbrook and, on Wednesday, the Nassau County district attorney's office charged a 63-year-old man, Richard Bilodeau, with second degree murder.
Fusco's body was found buried under leaves and shipping pallets. Police said she had been strangled, sexually assaulted and beaten.
The murder stunned her Nassau County community, especially when two other teens went missing in the same area, which became known as the Lynbrook Triangle, a local take on the Bermuda triangle, known for its disappearances.

A Walmart worker was charged Wednesday with the brutal 1984 murder and rape of a 16-year-old Long Island girl — ending decades of mystery and speculation, Nassau County prosecutors announced.
Richard Bilodeau, 63, was arraigned on murder charges for the Nov. 10, 1984, cold-case slaying of Theresa Fusco, thanks to high-tech DNA testing by the FBI, authorities said.
“I never gave up hope,” Thomas Fusco, the slain teen’s dad, told reporters. “I always had faith in the system.
“For me, hearing that there was someone [who took] my daughter’s life will bring closure to me and my family,” he said. “It’s heartbreaking to go through this over and over again, but this seems like a finalization and I’m very grateful. Very grateful.”
