Sister: Killer was 'someone she knew'
Marilyn Olivera does not think her sister was murdered by the serial killer believed responsible for three unsolved slayings in the Marlborough-Hudson area.
At her Marlborough home, Olivera spoke of her older sister, Lineida Olivera, who died at age 35 leaving 11 children, and whose remains were found early this month in Rutland.
"Whoever did it, it was someone she knew," said Olivera, 34.
Lineida Olivera's death is being investigated by the Worcester district attorney's office. It is being treated as a separate case despite similarities with the three slayings linked to a serial murderer.
