PA coroner: Police have suspect in boy’s ’85 death
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Police have a suspect in the 1985 killing of a 13-year-old boy whose body was found in a thicket months after he left home on a bicycle, a coroner said Thursday.
The death of David Reed, of Schuylkill Haven, had long been labeled ‘‘undetermined,’’ but was reclassified a homicide Thursday after a review of his exhumed remains.
State police, acting on new evidence they have not disclosed, exhumed the body in January and had forensic anthropologists perform new tests.
The suspect is still alive, and police are working toward an arrest, said Schuylkill County Coroner Joseph Lipsett. Until then, investigators are not releasing the specific cause of death.
‘‘We do have a cause, but we don’t want to release it right now ... because of the investigation,’’ Lipsett said. ‘‘Hopefully they’ll make an arrest.’’
The motive remains unclear, Lipsett said.
