The suspect in a 17-year-old murder was just arrested in Montenegro. There’s a New York Post article about it [link no longer active] here. It was an incredible investigation. Detective Sgt. Dennis Singleton just kept on it, took it as far as he could, (which involved tracking the guy as he went to other countries and possibly dismembered women wherever he lived) and when Singleton couldn’t go any farther, he refused to let it just go dormant. Instead, he handed it off to Detective James Osorio in the Cold Case Squad’s Bronx unit.

Good work, Detective James Osorio and Detective Sgt. Dennis Singleton.

The investigation looks like a textbook example of what can be accomplished with a little cooperation. It involved different units within the NYPD, law enforcement around the world, the FBI and Interpol and probably many others.

Good work everyone.
