ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — One of the family members of the infamous "Torso Killer" returned to the crime scene for closure, a half-century after her sister's murder in Rockville Centre.

Jeanne Heinz visited the overpass on Tuesday night where her sister Mary Beth Heinz was found strangled and lying in a creek 50 years ago, Newsday reported.

Photos of Mary Beth and Laverne Moye, whose body was found in the same water during the summer of 1972, stood along Christmas wreaths, the article said.
