There’s renewed interest in solving a 38-year-old Seneca County murder case.
A Southern Tier TV station, the website mytwintiers.com, and a new national podcast are all reviewing the 1985 murder of Kristen O’Connell.
O’Connell was a 20-year-old from Minnesota that visited Ovid to see a boy she had met on spring break. Her nude body and other evidence were found in cornfield.
The TV and podcast investigations are looking into why a Los Angeles TV producer cannot get state police to cooperate with filming a documentary about the murder. We first talked with LA film producer Christopher Pavlick back in June 2021
New York State Police have never officially named a suspect or made an arrest in the case, despite receiving and looking into over 2,000 leads. Police still consider this case an open investigation.
