How police work and DNA evidence broke open NY jogger case
Dr. Michael Baden, forensic pathologist and a Fox News contributor, explains
A Queens grand jury Wednesday handed up an indictment against the Brooklyn man arrested in the rape and murder of jogger Karina Vetrano in August on charges including murder.
The indictment charges Chanel Lewis, 20, with four counts of first-degree murder, five counts of second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual abuse and two counts of first-degree sexual abuse in connection with the 30-year-old’s death.
Lewis faces life behind bars without the possibility of parole if convicted. He will be arraigned on the indictment at a later date.
The raven-haired stunner Vetrano was last seen before her run on August 2, 2016, when she headed out onto a park trial near her Howard Beach home alone.
Cops say Lewis attacked her as she ran through the marshy area, and then sexually abused and strangled her.
