A major development in the investigation of Long Island’s most haunting cold cases! On this special episode of True Crime with the Sarge, author and podcaster Alexis Linkletter joins the Sarge to break down the highly anticipated press conference scheduled for Thursday, November 12, 2026, by Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney. According to the announcement, investigators will address the identification of six victims connected to cases spanning decades, dating as far back as the 1970s. What do these identifications mean for the families who have waited years, sometimes generations, for answers? Could these developments help investigators solve other unsolved homicides across Long Island? We’ll examine the significance of these identifications, the investigative techniques that may have helped bring answers to decades-old cases, and what they could mean for the future of cold case investigations. But that’s not all. The Sarge and Alexis will also take a deeper look at other unsolved murders, missing persons cases, and unresolved investigations across Long Island. Topics include: * Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney’s November 12 press conference * The identification of six victims in decades-old cases * Long Island cold case homicides dating back to the 1970s * Investigative genetic genealogy, DNA technology, and modern forensic techniques * Unsolved murders and missing persons cases on Long Island * What happens next when unidentified victims finally get their names back? Join the conversation as we examine the facts, follow the evidence, and ask the questions that still need answers.
