The 12-year-old murder of a Manhattan jogger is now a few steps closer to an arrest.

Police have “flagged” a person of interest in the killing of Sarah Fox, 21, who was found dead in a Manhattan park about a week after her 2004 disappearance, officials said.
The Juilliard student’s death is eerily similar to the killing of Karina Vetrano, a 30-year-old jogger who was sexually assaulted and strangled as she went out for a run in a Queens park on Aug. 2, 2016.
Fox went jogging in Inwood Hill Park on May 18, 2004, and never returned to her nearby apartment. Her nude body was found about a week later in a remote area of the upper Manhattan park. It was badly decomposed and surrounded by petals and branches from a tulip tree.
Police said at the time that the arrangement of the yellow petals appeared to be some sort of ritual or tribute.
A botanist confirmed for detectives that the petals came from elsewhere in the park, suggesting the killer was someone with an intimate knowledge of the landscape.



Investigators originally had two potential suspects for the strangulation, but one has since provided detectives with an alibi.
The second man has moved out of the country with his family.
“We have him flagged,” Nilsen said.
Neither suspect is Dimitry Sheinman, an artist and self-proclaimed clairvoyant who then-Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau declared was the “No. 1 suspect” shortly after the killing.
Sheinman was known for wandering the park with his unleashed dog, a Rhodesian ridgeback, sparking confrontations with other parkgoers.
But Sheinman was never charged, though he did re-emerge in headlines last year when he returned to New York from South Africa.
The married father of two proclaimed that the name of the killer came to him in a vision. Cops said it turned out Sheinman was seeing things.
Wondering if Sarah wore the chain seen in this pic. when she went jogging that fateful day?

The death of Sarah Fox: A murder, clue and psychic suspect

"The murder of Sarah Fox remains a cold case 14 years after her death

When Sarah Fox was murdered in 2004, her naked body was discovered in a “ritualistic” position. It only got stranger from there.

"Fox had left her apartment one day to go jogging in the nearby Inwood Hill Park and never returned. Students at Julliard mounted a major search effort with the police; manning phone lines, searching the park and nearby areas. Six days after Sarah Fox first disappeared, one of the searchers made a grisly discovery.

Her naked body was found in a secluded wooded area of the park, partially decomposed. She had been strangled, then posed in what police described as a “ritualistic” position. Her body was surrounded by tree branches and two dozen yellow tulip petals, spread evenly in a circle.

Chillingly, a botanist called to the crime scene examined one of the tulip petals, and declared that it had only been picked between 24-48 hours before the discovery of Fox’s body, and came from elsewhere in the park.

Her advanced state of decomposition meant that Fox had likely been murdered within hours of leaving home and the killer had returned to the scene of the crime days later to place the petals"

"Meanwhile in New York, Sarah Fox’s murder is now a cold case, having remained unsolved for 14 years."

Sheinman remains the number one suspect, and although two other men were subject to forensic testing and questioning in 2013, these tests also lead to dead ends.

The last update was two years ago, when Lt. David Nilsen, leader of the NYPD Cold Case squad, gave an interesting quote to the Daily News, after revealing they had another suspect who had also moved overseas. He maintained this suspect wasn’t Sheinman.

“It may not be a total stranger attack,” he explained.

“For all we know it’s someone she had a past relationship with many, many years before. Some people never forget.”

 
"Oct 11, 2017
