Advances in DNA technology helped investigators identify Robert William McCaffrey Jr. as the suspect after federal agents interviewed hundreds of people.
- On Friday, a multistate task force arrested 54-year-old Robert William McCaffrey in Manteo, North Carolina, in connection with the 1990 murder of Lisa Marie McBride in Vernon Township, New Jersey.
