A fingerprint on a decades-old taxi application led to the arrest of a man accused of fatally shooting two people and leaving their bodies along a Massachusetts roadway in 1978, officials said. Timothy Scott Joley, 71, was arrested last month at his home in Clearwater, Florida, in connection with the murders of Theresa Marcoux, 18, and Mark Harnish, 20, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni announced on Facebook Wednesday. Their bodies were found on Nov.
Gulluni said that Joley's past criminal history showed 'nothing of real significance.' He said the person coming forward to provide investigators with Joley's name was crucial. 'We were able to take that name and turn it into something very significant,' he said at the news conference. 'It is really so critical. One piece of information or one name that someone provides can really change the course of a case.
