'It was very unexpected': Decades-old murders linked by new DNA testing

New DNA testing has linked two South Jersey homicides that remained unsolved for more than 30 years, leading investigators to a suspect and providing long-awaited answers for the victims' families, Camden County authorities announced Thursday.

The cases involve the killings of Marebeth Welsh in 1993 and Jennifer Persia in 1994. Authorities said advances in investigative genetic genealogy connected the crimes and pointed to the same individual as the suspect.
