Arrest made in 25-year-old murder; body was found near Gowanus Xway
New York City police have cracked a 25-year-old cold case.
Edwin Alcaide of Manhattan was arrested Thursday in connection with the stabbing death of Lissette Torres on Jan. 1, 1987.
On New Year’s Eve, 1986, Torres called her mother to say she would meet her family for a planned gathering — but that was the last time they heard from her. Police found the 19-year-old Brooklyn woman stabbed multiple times in a car lot near the Gowanus Expressway in Sunset Park the next day.
