DNA technology has allowed police in Florida to identify a woman killed four decades ago. The victim’s daughter is from Gloucester and met with police on Tuesday. Now, Maehgan Smith will get to lay her mother to rest.“I think the feeling of even picking up her remains thinking ‘I probably haven’t touched any part of her in 41 years’ is a little surreal feeling,” Smith said. Smith’s mother, Lori Kearsey, was found dead in a canal in Davie, Florida in February of 1984. Kearsey’s body had gone unidentified for decades until local police reopened the cold case. As their investigation continued, Davie Police Sgt.

Her parents were divorced at the time and she said Kearsey, then 23, had re...
