Pennsylvania State Police say DNA evidence has linked the 1976 murder of 21-year-old Susan Rush and the 1977 murder of 18-year-old Brenda Ritter, confirming that the women were killed by the same offender. Investigators identified James Richard Clark Sr. as the killer; he was not previously considered a suspect and died of natural causes in 2023. Authorities are investigating whether Clark may have had additional victims.
