Post Mortem | The Killing of Theresa Fusco
4/28/202627 min
48 Hours correspondents Anne-Marie Green and Erin Moriarty discuss the cases of Theresa Fusco, Kelly Morrissey, and Jackie Martarella, who went missing more than 40 years ago in Long Island, New York. After Theresa’s body was discovered, police focused on a murder suspect, John Kogut, who eventually confessed and implicated two other men. They discuss why Kogut’s defense attorney believes his confession was coerced, how new DNA testing helped overturn the convictions, and the indictment of a new suspect, who has pleaded not guilty.

[Instrumental music plays] Welcome to Post Mortem. I'm your host, forty-eight hours correspondent, Anne Marie Green, and today we are discussing the cases of Theresa Fusco and Kelly Morrissey, two teenagers, teenage girls, who went missing in nineteen eighty-four in Lynbrook, New York. That's a suburb in Long Island. Now, after a suspect confessed to Theresa's murder and then implicated two other men, seemed like the case was closed. But about nineteen years later, advances in DNA technology overturned their convictions and pointed to another unknown suspect. Joining me today is forty-eight hours correspondent Erin Moriarty. Erin, you worked on this case, but over your years of working, uh, for forty-eight hours, you've actually covered a number of wrongful conviction cases.
