## Resource

After more than thirty years, law enforcement officials have successfully identified a suspect responsible for a 1991 homicide and a 1993 sexual assault in Brockton, Massachusetts. Utilizing advanced forensic genealogy and DNA testing, investigators linked the late Robert Carey to the strangulation of Cherie Bishop and the attack on Donna Bell. The breakthrough occurred when specialized labs matched crime scene samples to Carey’s relatives, placing the suspect in close proximity to both original crime scenes. Although the perpetrator died in 2025, the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office believes these findings provide long-awaited closure for the families of the victims. This resolution highlights the persistent efforts of the State Police Unresolved Cases Unit and forensic scientists in solving cold cases through modern technology. The report concludes that while Carey is the primary suspect in these specific tragedies, there is currently no evidence connecting him to further unsolved crimes.
