The Free Lance-Star Opinion

My sister's dead; why are police so incurious?

Date published: 1/29/2008

Do the DNA testing on Richard Marc Evonitz! When the original articles were written, I was very skeptical of The Free Lance-Star's motives. I thought that it was a ploy to sell more papers by stirring the pot around some sensational murders, including that of my twin sister, Alicia Reynolds ["Mum doesn't cut it," Jan. 24].

Regardless of your motives, I am stunned by the lack of response from the Virginia State Police to your stories. I am certain that the investigation into my sister's death has been difficult and time-consuming.

Now is the time to correct those mistakes, if any, by doing the DNA testing.

If Evonitz murdered my sister, I would like to know for sure.
