Summary

SOLVED!! The Suspected Killer of Debbie Dorian Has Been Identified Through DNA As Nickey Stane

**NOTE: KD IS NO LONGER WITH ORBITAL JIGSAW OR BLUBRRY**

Last year in Episode 64, we discussed the unsolved murder of Debbie Dorian. She was raped and murdered on August 22, 1996. Her childhood friend, Katina, reached out to me last September and asked if I would be willing to discuss her case on our show, which I did. Katina did not join me on the show, but she did provide me with as much information as she could about the case, as well as Debbie, and their friendship. Well, today, her killer was arrested. His name is Nickey Stane and his DNA has been linked to not only Debbie's rape and murder, but also several other women who were sexually assaulted by this man, and their cases had gone cold too. But Debbie was his only murder, that we know of. Today, I am joined by Katina, in a short phone conversation about the news that broke today and the arrest that has been finally made in Debbie's case. Thank you for all you've done for Debbie and her family, Katina.
