Justice Denied: The Unsolved Murder of Peggy Reber.
''Fourteen-year-old Peggy Reber looked evil directly in the eye and then the demon beat her, strangled her and mutilated her with a 5-foot hunting bow. When he was done with his sadistic frenzy he threw her body on the floor of her bedroom and he simply walked away''
''How could detectives overlook two men that obviously had keys to the apartment where Peggy was savagely murdered? Could it be that one was a local attorney?''

There's another story (long) on the case, also from Philadelphia Weekly, from earlier in the same year (2008) as the one linked to start this thread. (Actually, you can link to it from that page, but it could be easy to miss -- so posting its own link here, for those who want to read up on this one.)
Awful, awful crime!

It’s been more than 50 years, but Peggy Reber, a troubled 14-year-old girl murdered in horrific circumstances in her Lebanon city home, still has no justice.
It was in the early morning hours of May 26, 1968, when Mary Reber returned to her home at 770 Maple St. after a weekend trip with friends to Atlantic City, New Jersey, and found her daughter, Margaret Lynn “Peggy” Reber, dead on a bedroom floor. She had been brutally assaulted before her murder, according to police.
Her killer has never been identified.
[...]
Unfortunately, the exciting break in investigative technology [genetic genealogy] that solved the Mirack murder doesn’t seem likely to help in Reber’s case.
“We had a DNA expert review our evidence,” Graf said. “The DNA expert indicated nothing we presented would turn up any additional results with DNA testing.”
Graf said the trail surrounding Peggy Reber’s death has gone cold, but they’re still working to find the killer.
