Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams announced an arrest has been made in the 1975 cold-case killing of Lindy Sue Biechler.
David Sinopoli, 68, of the 300 block of Faulkner Drive, has been charged with criminal homicide and is being held in prison without bail.
Biechler was 19 years old when she was sexually assaulted and stabbed 19 times on Dec. 5, 1975 during a struggle in the living room of her Manor Township apartment. When police found her, the knife was still in her neck.
The Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office in 2019 teamed with Manor Township police to hire Virginia-based Parabon NanoLabs to create a composite sketch of Biechler's killer based on DNA evidence. The agency produced an image of a fair-skinned, dark-haired man at the ages of 25 and 65. Investigators at the time suggested her killer might no longer be living
