The victim, 33-year-old Kelly Ann Tinyes, was a well-respected English teacher at Yonkers High School in Yonkers, New York. She was known for her kind heart, her infectious smile, and her passion for teaching.
On a cold winter day in January 1989, Kelly was found dead in the basement of her family home. She had been sexually assaulted, beaten, and stabbed. The killer had also painted satanic symbols on the walls, adding a chilling aspect to an already horrific crime.

One suspect quickly emerged - a local teenager named Christopher DiMeo. Chris was a troubled young man with a history of criminal behavior. He had befriended Kelly's younger sister, Cathy, and had even lived with the family for a time. But as detectives dug deeper, they discovered that Chris had a much darker side.

Kelly's murder rocked the Yonkers community, and her family and friends have never fully recovered from the loss. But as this episode shows, their tireless efforts to see justice served have not been in vain.
