PREGNANT MARY GENCY'S 1974 KILLERS GET JUSTICE

JUSTICE

A VICIOUS boyfriend who brutally battered his pregnant girlfriend to death has been brought to justice 34-years after the murder.
Back in 1974 Mary Irene Gency was just 16, when her nude, frozen body was found near the Sportsman's club in North Charleroi, PA, with multiple skull fractures inflicted by heavy object.
But it was only recent advances in DNA technology that allowed them to analyze samples found at the scene that led cops to her killers - her boyfriend of the time Robert Unwin Jr and his best pal David Davioli, both 54.
Davioli, who cops suspected at the time, but had to release through lack of evidence told cops that on the night of the murder the three of them were smoking marijuana.
Then both of them had sex with Gency.

COPS NAB DAVID GRIMES IN 1974 MURDER OF WIDOW, 75

BUSTED

SHE was smothered to death in her bed 34-years ago, but although cops had a suspect they didn't have enough to nail him.
At the time they suspected David Grimes, now 64, in the death of 75-year-old Ruth VanHouten, because he'd been arrested several times near her Ithaca, NY home for residential burglaries. 
Many of the cases involved residential burglaries and the assault of elderly women who lived alone.  But thanks to their excellent and painstaking evidence collection at the time, in January 2010, when Lieutenant Christopher Townsend reviewed the case he got a break.
When he sent it the New York State Police Forensic Investigation Center in Albany, using current technology, DNA was gathered from the evidence and entered into a DNA database.
