Police said they matched DNA taken from Dana Ireland's body to that of Albert Lauro Jr.
A man who was identified as a new possible suspect in the killing and sexual assault of a Virginia woman who was visiting Hawaii more than three decades ago died by suicide recently after police took a DNA swab from him, officials said.The Hawaii Police Department on Monday said they matched DNA taken from Dana Ireland's body to that of 57-year-old Albert Lauro Jr. of Hawaii an Paradise Park on the Big Island. Police Chief Ben Moszkowicz said Lauro died by suicide and was found at home.
Lauro hadn't been on law enforcement's radar when Roth was prosecutor: 'I don't recall ever seeing this person in any of the police reports when I went over the case.'Moskowicz said Lauro was arrested once in 1987 for shoplifting when he was about 20 years old.The push to find out who killed Ireland gained renewed traction after the January 2023 release of Schweitzer, who was convicted in 2000 and sentenced to 130 years in prison.
