Cold Case Breakthrough: Arrest Made in 1978 Massachusetts Double Murder

A fingerprint from a decades-old taxi application led to the arrest of a 71-year-old Florida man for the 1978 killings of a young couple.

Timothy Joley, 71, was arrested in Florida on October 30 for the 1978 murders of Theresa Marcoux and Mark Harnish in Massachusetts.
A key piece of evidence was a bloody fingerprint found on the victims' truck, which matched Joley's fingerprint from a 2000 taxi license application.
Joley, who lived in the area at the time of the murders, had purchased a Colt handgun a month before the killings.
The arrest followed a tip linking Joley to the murders, prompting a renewed investigation into the cold case.
Joley waived extradition and will face two counts of murder in Massachusetts, although no motive has been identified.
