Members of the FBI were recently seen with local and state law enforcement during renewed efforts to solve an Orange County cold case from 43 years ago.
Federal agents joined authorities at several roadblocks last Wednesday in Pine Island, one captured in News 12 viewer images on Pulaski Highway.
Officials say they were handing out flyers asking drivers for information about the 1981 murder of 20-year-old Dawn Marino, from Unionville.
Marnio was last seen in Pine Island after a night out at several bars with friends. She vanished while waiting outside Rinky Dinks on Route 1 for a ride from a friend. Her body was found six years later by a hunter in a nearby cistern on Halloween.
Anyone with information about the homicide case is asked to contact New York State police at 845-344-5370.
