"Scott Lorenz has gone through a three-decade nightmare in prison for a crime he did not commit," his lawyer, Ilann Maazel, said Thursday."Though the world gave up on him, he never gave up on himself or his search for justice. Scott just wants to go home, be with his wife, and live in peace." EX-NY POLICE CHIEF WHO LED GILGO BEACH MURDERS PROBE ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY SOLICITING SEX AT LONG ISLAND PARK
Lorenz and Pugh were charged in the case after Lorenz, then under arrest for another crime in Iowa, confessed to murdering Meindl and implicated Pugh. Lorenz later said it was a false confession. The case was reopened in 2018 after defense lawyers convinced a state judge to grant a review of forensic evidence, which found that neither Lorenz's nor Pugh's DNA was at the crime scene, including on a knife used in the attack.
