The
Prince George’s County Police Department’s Cold Case Unit has charged a suspect
in connection with the 30-year-old murder of Stephanie Sue Watson of
Laurel. The 27-year-old left for work the night of July 22,1982 and never
arrived. Her remains were positively identified a few months later.
In March 2013, detectives sent DNA recovered from the victim’s car for
testing. That DNA positively matched the suspect, 68-year-old John Ernest
Walsh, who is currently in custody on unrelated charges.
Sergeant
Richard Fulginiti of the Cold Case Unit is available to discuss the case this
afternoon. Photos of the suspect and victim will be available.
Any
interested media is asked to please RSVP by 12:00 pm today. Please
call the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Media Relations Division at
