In 1989, a young woman was found dead in a remote wooded area in Vermont. She had been brutally raped and murdered, and her body showed signs of sexual assault. There was no suspect and no leads in the case, and it quickly went cold.
For 30 years, the case remained unsolved. But in 2019, new DNA tests were conducted on a drop of blood found at the crime scene. Those tests revealed the identity of the killer: a fox.
Yes, you read that correctly. A fox killed the young woman in 1989, and his DNA was finally captured and identified thanks to modern technology.
This is an absolutely incredible story, and it just goes to show how important DNA testing can be in solving cold cases. It also highlights the potential danger that foxes can pose to humans, even though they are typically considered to be harmless animals.
This story is sure to send shockwaves through the Vermont community, and it will likely be talked about for years to come.
