near a highway overpass in rockland county, new york. the victim is identified at local transient, 39-year-old dana blaze demarco. dana was sort of a free spirit, described as an artist, a drifter, so it would be very likely that she would have come in contact with mcfadden. eventually, we would learn through the autopsy that she was also killed with blunt force trauma, a fractured skull was found. there s a couple of indicators from the crime scene that suggest that mcfadden is involved. one is the type of injury, the location of the injury, the severity of the injury. as i understand it, there was a piece of jewelry that was found with other jewelry possessed by mcfadden that belonged to dana. dana s body is found not far from where mcfadden left robert silk s body. it s also a mere quarter mile from where mcfadden lived at the time of his arrest. but all this circumstantial evidence isn t enough to charge
and i kept on going with the van. later on i come to find out that what i ran over was a girl by the name of dana blase demarco. you ran her over? i ran her over because i m getting away from the tail, the people that was tailing me. how did you know you hit her? because when i stopped my van, there was blood on the front of my van. i wiped the blood off my van. they found dana demarco s blood inside the van from the shirt i used. to wipe it off. i was thinking it s animal blood, but they found demarco s blood. they had dna connecting me to dana demarco. according to investigator, robert van curen, in official records, blood was not among the many pieces of evidence collected from the van. if you hit dana demarco on
and you re but, still, i could have stopped. i didn t do that. you know, i was and i ran away from the scene of the crime. so, that in itself is a crime. he still interestingly says, well, i should be prosecuted for it. but prosecuted really how? if you were to proceed with the demarco case, as he s presented it, at the most, you might have voluntary manslaughter. so admitting being responsible for dana s death, as a homicide certainly would have helped her family and those people that knew her. it would have brought closure to the case, but we didn t really get that. so, it was, in a sense, very anti-climatic for us. coming up, do you think it would be safe to let you out now? i wouldn t want to get out. i chose that. but i m asking you no. it wouldn t be safe.
