According to the report, friends said 15-year-old Kimberly Streath mentioned she and her mom Sandra Giuseppe, 51, were considering a move but did not offer a reason for why they would leave the duplex on First Avenue. Giuseppe and Cadiz were dating, according to the newspaper.

He was sentenced to 25 years in July of 1992 but was released eight years later.
