Authorities said DNA evidence and an attentive state trooper helped find Angelo Colon-Ortiz, who authorities believe killed the New York City woman in 2016, who was out jogging near her mother's Massachusetts home.
Police said throughout the investigation they believed Marcotte fought her attacker and the suspect had scratches on his face, neck and arms.
On Saturday, Early said DNA taken from Marcotte’s hands during an autopsy helped solve the case. The DNA was used to help create a profile of a suspect, which was released two months ago.
It also matched the DNA of 31-year-old Angelo Colon-Ortiz, who lives in nearby Worcester and who police believe was working in the area at the time of Marcotte’s attack.
