Detectives investigating the gruesome death of a New Jersey woman whose recently-identified remains were found along the Lehigh River in Carbon County 44 years ago are asking for the public’s help to secure a conviction.
Police say Colon is “Beth Doe,” the woman found dismembered and stuffed into suitcases along with a full term fetus who has been the subject of decades of cold case investigations. Sierra is her former boyfriend.
He’s in a New York prison awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania, and investigators are seeking information pertinent to the case.
“We strongly encourage anyone who feels they can provide insight into this case to contact (state police,) officials said in a statement.
The number to call is 1-800-4PA-TIPS (1-800-472-8477), and callers should reference Media Release #1956, police said in a statement.
Colon’s family members gave police Sierra’s name. They said Colon and Sierra, who went by the name “Wiso,” had moved into an apartment together.
The family members told police that “Sierra was abusive and jealous toward Evelyn and would keep her locked in the apartment at times … Evelyn had told their mother that she feared Sierra and that if anything happened to her, he was likely involved,” court records say.
When approached at his home by state troopers last week, Sierra initially denied knowing Colon, court records say, but eventually admitted that they dated and she was about to have his child.
State police and the Carbon County District Attorney’s Office are expected to release more information on the case soon.
