Fairfax County Police Department announced that they cracked a 29-year-old murder case<\/a> this week, identifying the suspect that they say killed a woman in 1994.<\/p>\n

Niskayuna, New York resident Stephen Smerk, 51, was charged with second-degree murder<\/a> over the incident. Smerk \u2013 who confessed to the murder \u2013 is awaiting extradition to Fairfax County, Virginia.<\/p>\n

Robin Lawrence, 37, was fatally stabbed in her Springfield home on November 20, 1994. Investigators developed a DNA profile in 1994, but they were not able to match a suspect to the recovered DNA.<\/p>\n

Fairfax County Police Department says that their detectives were determined to solve the case. They eventually found a familial DNA match to Smerk, and determined that he was working in the area where Lawrence was stabbed.<\/p>\n

Authorities found pictures of the suspect from 1988 and 1998 that matched a digital composite image from Parabon NanoLabs, a DNA technology company.<\/p>\n

Police say that Smerk confessed to the murder after they apprehended him in New York.<\/p>\n

“Victim specialists from our Major Crimes Bureau\u2019s Victim Services Division have been assigned to ensure the victim\u2019s family is receiving appropriate resources and assistance.” Fairfax County Police Department said<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about the incident is still encouraged to call the police department’s major crimes bureau at 703-246-7800, option 2. Tipsters may be eligible for cash rewards.<\/p>\n

“Our cold case detectives exhibit unparalleled dedication when it comes to closing a case with many unknowns,” Chief of Police Kevin Davis said in a statement. “This case is but one example of how our department\u2019s police work goes above and beyond, and it exemplifies our commitment to delivering justice regardless of the timeline.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
