"DNA collected by investigators examining McBride's killing reportedly matched a sample taken from McCaffrey as he was convicted of obstructing justice after his wife's disappearance in Charleston, South Carolina."
"A hunter discovered McBride's decomposed remains in New Jersey's Delaware Water Gap national recreation area in October 1990, four months after she reportedly disappeared from her home."
"New Jersey cold-case investigators were able to enter DNA recovered from McBride into a federal database containing genetic profiles of people convicted of certain crimes, leading to the match with McCaffrey."
"Bob McCaffrey had been charged with lying about a handwritten note he claimed Gayle wrote, informing him of her having left with another man."
Bob McCaffrey Jr., 54, was arrested in North Carolina for the 1990 murder of Lisa Marie McBride in New Jersey. DNA evidence linked him to the case. McCaffrey had previously been convicted of obstructing justice related to his wife's disappearance in 2012. McBride's remains were found in 1990, and she was identified as a homicide victim. Cold-case investigators matched DNA from McBride's case to McCaffrey's profile, leading to his arrest. He was released from prison in May 2023 after serving time for misleading investigators about his wife's case.
