THE STATE SUPREME COURT HAS UPHELD A MAN’S MURDER CONVICTION IN A COLD CASE FROM THE EARLY 1990S. IT TOOK MORE THAN 20 YEARS FOR INVESTIGATORS TO DETERMINE THAT ANTHONY JOHN MORRIS HAD KILLED MARY DUPRIS ON ALBUQUERQUE’S WEST SIDE. SHE DISAPPEARED THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS IN 1991 AND WAS LATER FOUND DEAD.
NEWLY DISCOVERED DNA EVIDENCE HELPED CONVICT MORRIS, WHO WAS ALREADY IN PRISON IN WASHINGTON STATE FOR ANOTHER MURDER WHEN HE WAS CHARGED IN THE ALBUQUERQUE HOMICIDE TWO YEARS AGO.
