(CNN)Virginia Beach police have accused an 80-year-old New York man of killing two teens in a case that's gone unsolved for 46 years.
The double homicide dates to 1973, when Janice Pietropola and Lynn Seethaler, both 19, traveled from the Pittsburgh area to Virginia Beach to vacation. They were found brutally killed on June 30 inside their oceanfront motel cottage, and their deaths were ruled homicides, police said.
After an exhaustive investigation, the case went cold, police said. The cottage where the teens were slain was destroyed, then rebuilt into new motels and shops.
Then last fall, Virginia Beach Police cold case investigators, working with the local prosecutor, began to aggressively research a strong lead in the case, police said.
"Snippy's" roommate's (who worked at the railroad before "Snippy") girlfriend was giving the 80 year-old owner of the Farrar's Cottages (where the murders took place) blow jobs in our driveway at night while he worked second trick at the Oh-so-riginal Norfolk Southern Railway Company where we rented a house at the oceanfront 38 blocks away. The old fella rewarded her nicely for being his friend. A girl's got to do what she's got to do. It was kind of sad.
DNA tests are solving a lot of old cases:
