YOUNGSTOWN -- Blood samples collected at the home of an elderly South Side woman killed in October show conclusively that a 19-year-old man who committed suicide after her death was her killer, city police said today.
Lt. Robin Lees, police spokesman, said blood found at the scene was tested by the state Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, and it matches the DNA of Dustin J. Anzevino.
"We have corroboration with the forensic evidence with what the conventional investigation showed," Lees said. "We were comfortable with what our investigation showed, but this is the icing on the cake. This physical evidence leaves no doubt as far as we're concerned."
What happened
Police said Anzevino, of Everett Avenue, entered the Beldon Avenue home of 86-year-old Helen P. Koscak on Oct. 18 by breaking the glass on a kitchen door, cutting his hand in the process.
Anzevino had attended a birthday party at Koscak's next-door neighbor's house the night of the killing, police said.
Two days after Koscak's slaying, Anzevino, who had been identified as the primary suspect in the crime, committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a shotgun at his brother's Everett Avenue home. Police said he had confessed to a family member that he killed the woman.
"The investigation didn't drop with his suicide," Lees said. "We continued to follow up and this was the result."
