Last Friday, Kristen O’Connell would have turned 59 years old.
The Minnesota woman was murdered in Ovid in 1985. No one has ever been arrested for her death. O’Connell was visiting a friend and left a party, her body was later found in a cornfield.
In a post on Facebook, Kristen’s mother is asking you to petition the New York State Health Department to allow a Texas lab to perform new DNA testing. The lab is not licensed by New York State but could be granted an exemption.
