DNA technology helped investigators identify Arthur Kinlaw — a previously convicted murderer who ran a prostitution ring in the Bronx alongside his wife — as the suspect in the homicide of Long Island resident Dawn Olanick, aka “Princess Doe,” the outlet reports citing Warren County Prosecutor James Pfeiffer.

The teenage victim’s identity had been a mystery for decades after she was brutally beaten near Cedar Ridge Cemetery in Blairstown in July of 1982 — possibly for declining to be involved with prostitution — leaving only her clothes and necklace as potential clues, the report says.

Kinlaw has been charged with first-degree murder and is already serving a life sentence in New York after killing another woman whose body was discovered in the East River two years later, the outlet reports.
