A 44-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a 2001 cold-case murder of a Maryland mom after cops used DNA evidence to identify her suspected killer decades later.
Leslie J. Preer, then 50, was found dead by a co-worker on May 2, 2001, in an upstairs bedroom of her home in the 4800 block of Drummond Avenue in the county’s Chevy Chase area. The scene was a bloody one, with visible signs of a struggle in the home. An autopsy determined that she had died partly of blunt-force trauma.
