Shortly before 10 a.m. on Jan. 13, 1994, a 21-year-old woman arrived at the President Tuxedo store in the Oakridge Mall. Being the acting manager, she prepared to open the store when Loguidice approached her and forced the victim into a back storage room at knifepoint.
However, in 2022, the District Attorney's Office's Cold Case Unit discovered that DNA collected from the 1994 crime scene matched an offender profile in a national DNA database called the Combined DNA Index System.
