The family of a Long Island police officer who was killed in a car bombing in his own front yard 33 years ago is hoping an increased reward will help bring them some long sought-after justice

"It’s something you can’t get rid of, you think about it every single day," said Jennifer Wustenhoff Lees."It shook the neighborhood for miles and our lives forever."

To tie up that decades-old loose end, Wustenhoff’s daughters and Suffolk County's top cop announced an increased reward for information leading to an arrest — hoping the larger reward will lead them to their father's killer. The amount is now $100,000. After Wustenhoff’s murder, a then-Nassau County police officer was identified as a possible suspect. However, he was never charged, despite the fact that Wustenhoff’s daughters say their dad was having an affair with that officer's wife.
