The Massachusetts State Police Unresolved Cases Unit and the the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office’s Cold Case Unit, with help from the FBI, said it was able to match a fingerprint on a plastic bag used to suffocate Howard Ferrini, 53, in August 1991.

TAUNTON On the afternoon of Aug. 14, 1991, 53-year-old professional gambler Howard Ferrini was spending his time the way he often did during the summer hanging out with his friends at the Raynham dog track.
Around 4 p.m., Ferrini told them he was leaving and would be back in a few hours, as he was excited about participating in a sweepstakes that was planned for later that evening.
It was the last time Ferrini s friends would ever see him.
Now, nearly 30 years later, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn s office says it has at least partially cracked the cold case of Ferrini’s murder.
