Police are holding a press conference in London Tuesday to reveal new information into the 30-year-old cold case killing of an elderly woman in Southwestern Ontario.
Ontario Provincial Police will unveil new suspect information linked to a unsolved 1988 slaying of Thera Dieleman, 80, whose strangled and beaten body was found near her front door of her Woodstock-area home on Sept. 16, 1988.
Investigators are hoping to generate new information in the case.
The OPP held a similar press conference 10 years ago when they said they recovered a man’s DNA from the crime scene, but needed someone to name the person responsible for the widow’s slaying.
But the DNA didn’t match any of the persons of interest in the case nor did they find the suspect on the national DNA databank, police said at the time. A $50,000 reward was also offered for information leading to an arrest.
The press conference is at 11 a.m. at the OPP west region headquarters at 6355 Westminster Dr.
