Provincial police have scheduled a news conference for Tuesday morning to update an unsolved 1988 Innerkip-area homicide investigation.
Police didn’t identify the specific case in their statement, but police have yet to crack the 1988 murder of Thera Dieleman.
According to police, the murder is believed to have happened during the day on Sept. 16, 1988, where the 80-year-old Dieleman was found beaten and strangled in her home.

In 2007, the DNA of a male suspect was collected from the crime scene, but police were hopeful that someone would bring a name forward — a name which never came. A $50,000 reward was also offered for information leading to an arrest.
Tuesday’s press conference will take place at OPP West Region Headquarters at 11 a.m.
