For 14 years, police have been trying to solve a cold case. Now, they hope that teaming up with New York might help.
Fourteen years after a woman’s body was found behind Brittany West Plaza in New Britain, her identity and many other factors in the case remain and identity, but police are hoping that people in Albany, New York might be able to help them solve the case.
Police think that the New Britain murder of an unidentified woman in September 1995 might be linked to the killing of another unidentified woman a month later, about 30 miles away in Tolland, Massachusetts.
Massachusetts cops have some leads after finding a tax stamp on pack of cigarettes that led them to Albany.
Because New Britain cops believe their Jane Doe is connected to that Mass Jane Doe, they too believe their victim spent time in Albany.
Now, officials are distributing the photos in the Albany area to see if new leads might come up for a very cold case.
