Kelly Morrissey was a young girl who didn't like to stay home. She liked to hang out with her friends.
00:00:13
>> [music] >> June 12th, 1984, Kelly walks to a payphone near a Shell gas station over
00:00:20
on Merrick Road in Lynbrook and uh meets up with another one of her friends and um
00:00:26
they make some phone calls after that payphone. We don't know where Kelly went. Knowing
00:00:31
Kelly, there is no way I believe she ran away. No. And then on November 10th, 1984, just 5
00:00:40
months later, >> Yes. Teresa Fusco [music] disappears. >> Yes. And what is the initial thought? The
00:00:51
initial thought is there might be a connection. Teresa worked at a roller rink on
00:00:56
Merrick Road in Lynbrook, uh Hot Skates. For her to go to Hot Skates, she would have to walk in this [music] direction
00:01:03
down the street. Did you ever worry about her walking? No, I never really worried about her walking anywhere in
00:01:10
the neighborhood. That evening, she apparently got fired. She's upset and then she [music] leaves.
00:01:21
Wasn't she supposed to go to Lisa Kaplan's house? >> Yeah, her best friend, yeah. She was
00:01:27
going to [music] come to my house after she got off of work and sleep over. So, it becomes like [music] 9:00, she's not
00:01:34
there. Yep. 9:30, not there. 10:00, I just thought maybe she went home. Well, the next morning, her mother
00:01:42
called [music] and her mom asked my mom, "Can you please have Lisa send Teresa home?" And my mom said, "Well, Teresa's
00:01:50
not here." Her mom called the police department. We went to all the places we would hang
00:01:57
out and she wasn't anywhere that we searched. It's just very coincidental. Same neighborhood, same time frame, two girls
00:02:08
[music] who knew each other. And I'm like, "Something's not right. Something's just not right."
00:02:15
And then 25 days later, these two boys coming back to hang out here in the woods,
00:02:20
>> [music] >> they see a body and they run to the deli and ask to call 911. Police show up and they find Teresa
00:02:30
Fusco. Teresa had been strangled, beaten, and raped. It truly was shattering at 16 to never have lost anybody that
00:02:45
[music] you loved in such a horrific way. You just can't get over that. But until there's a connection in the
00:02:54
two cases, one's still a missing girl and now one's a homicide. John Kogut was brought in by the
00:03:02
detectives as a suspect in the murder of Teresa Fusco and during that time he confessed to the murder of Teresa. We
00:03:10
decided that I had to kill her. And then during that confession, he implicated two of his buddies.
00:03:17
And when I saw the three men who were arrested in handcuffs, I thought to myself, "Who are these
00:03:24
people? They're older. Who are they?" The theory was always it was three guys. >> Yeah.
00:03:31
And the DNA didn't match any of them. >> No, it didn't. If they didn't do it, then who did it?
00:03:41
Today, we arraigned 63-year-old Richard Bilodeau for the murder of Teresa Fusco. And I said, "Okay,
00:03:50
here we go again."
