Known as neighboring grandmother, 88 -year -old Adena Shobert often helps her children help children with math work or riding her on their bikes on their driveway.
Ray Terneney, district attorney of Safulk County, said she was alone in her North Bay Coast’s house and when she had no children, she treated her neighbor’s children as if she were her own.
“When a neighbor saw the reward of the door in front of Shaburt in December 2003, Terney said at a news conference on Friday, the outer light is still pending, his window is broken and papers from his Long Island’s house flown into the air. They were, they knew that something was wrong.
Shobert was beaten.
The district lawyer said the brutal murder shook the community and did not seek the solution for more than two decades until the investigation led to the arrest of Raul Ala, a former Shobert neighbor, Raul Ala. , Who has been accused of murder in his murder.
Ala’s lawyer, Christopher Geo, refused to comment on the matter.
“This crime shows that justice is not the expiry date,” Terney said in a statement. “With the infinite dedication of our retired and active law enforcement officers, with progress in forensic technology, we succeeded in accusing the defendant of the brutal murder of Adena Shobert, who for more than two decades Safulic County. What is upset. ”
Fingerprint foggy picture and permanent spy
The case received new attention in 2023 when retired Safulic County Police spy Paskol Alburgh tried to re -evaluate the case with modern forensic technology.
Terneney said, “Many people have never stopped thinking about this abominable murder even after their retirement, and they have been thinking about the methods in which we could potentially produce a positive result. “
During the preliminary investigation, the spies docuted the scene and saved fingerprints and blood evidence throughout the house. However, the forensic technique was not so developed to identify a killer, and the matter was cool.
According to the District Attorney, the spies had a blurry photo of a window blind on the window blind, where the killer entered the house of Shaburt and, with more advanced technology, according to the district attorney, to find the match. He was able to run through the base.
“Whether or not, with modern high definition photography, he managed to take a picture of the photo, which came out of the plaintiff’s left thumb,” said Terney.
Ternei said its prints were also found “match -match match” for another print at the door near the broken window.
Ayla was 29 years old when she was killed and lived less than 200 yards from Shaburt.
After identifying Ayala’s fingerprints, the spies combed through forensic evidence, which included Shaburt’s clothes, and an unidentified DNA was found on his clothes.
Once this DNA was found, in August 2024, Safulic County Police traveled to Georgia’s Tullamo – where Ala was moved – to supervise and get DNA from tossing items, which I also included lost lottery tickets and paper bottles.
“He was able to get a model of DNA abandoning, which was compared to the DNA sample left on the scene and, then, was confronted.”
On January 16, police officers from Safulic County and Georgian law enforcement agencies arrested Ayala, charged with a counting of a first degree and two counts of murder of a second degree.
His lawyer told CNN that he on Friday requested not to be guilty of the allegations on his arrest. Authorities said that Ayala was being kept without bail and had to face life imprisonment in jail without the possibility of parole.
