Authorities have identified a Pennsylvania<\/a> teenager nearly 26 years after her murder in a rare case where investigators knew the killer’s identity long before they knew the victim’s name.<\/p>\n

The FBI’s Boston field office, Massachusetts<\/a> State Police and Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday that “Chelsea Jane Doe” has been identified as Tiffany Bradley, a 16-year-old from Allentown, Pennsylvania, through advanced DNA testing and investigative genetic genealogy.<\/p>\n

Bradley’s killer, Eugene McCollom, pleaded guilty years ago and is serving a life sentence. But despite securing a conviction, investigators spent decades trying to determine the identity of the teenage victim.<\/p>\n

“We have waited so long for this day,” Massachusetts State Police<\/a> Col. Geoffrey Noble said during a news conference. “It is rare to have a case like this one, where we knew the suspect’s name before the victim’s.”<\/p>\n

Police discovered Bradley’s remains on Nov. 13, 2000, in the parking lot of the Soldier’s Home in Chelsea, Massachusetts, about 315 miles from her hometown.<\/p>\n

At Wednesday’s news conference, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden described the scene investigators encountered.<\/p>\n

“They found a body of an unknown female,” Hayden said. “Tragically, she had been cut in half<\/a>. She was without her head and without any hands.”<\/p>\n

Authorities said McCollom, who remains incarcerated, admitted to killing Bradley after she arrived in the Boston area and later told investigators where additional remains had been buried.<\/p>\n

According to the FBI, Bradley had been trafficked across state lines<\/a> before her death.<\/p>\n

Authorities said advances in DNA technology<\/a> and genealogical research ultimately allowed investigators to identify Bradley and notify her family nearly 26 years after her death.<\/p>\n

“Today, we can finally state her name: Tiffany Bradley of Allentown, Pennsylvania,” the FBI Boston office wrote in a Facebook post announcing the breakthrough.<\/p>\n

For Bradley’s family, the identification brought an end to decades of unanswered questions.<\/p>\n

“Her last conversation with her favorite cousin was cut short with her voice trembling, saying, ‘I’ll call you later. I have to go,'” Bradley’s relative, Shakirah Wiggins, said during the news conference. “That call never came and was replaced with 26 years of waiting, wondering why.”<\/p>\n

Wiggins thanked investigators for continuing to pursue the case long after the killer had been identified.<\/p>\n

“It is totally amazing that, after 26 years, people cared enough to give her a name and return her to our family,” she said. “The wheels of justice run slowly, but surely.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI’s Boston field office for additional comment but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
