Gloucester woman speaks out after police identify mother found dead in Florida in 1984

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:56:16 GMT

DNA technology has allowed police in Florida to identify a woman killed four decades ago. The victim’s daughter is from Gloucester and met with police on Tuesday. Now, Maehgan Smith will get to lay her mother to rest.“I think the feeling of even picking up her remains thinking ‘I probably haven’t touched any part of her in 41 years’ is a little surreal feeling,” Smith said. Smith’s mother, Lori Kearsey, was found dead in a canal in Davie, Florida in February of 1984. Kearsey’s body had gone unidentified for decades until local police reopened the cold case. As their investigation continued, Davie Police Sgt. Kevin Urbaez said authorities were able to locate Smith using DNA from bone fragments. “I was so overwhelmed because I resigned myself to the fact that I thought I would probably never know what happened to her,” Smith said. Smith was a small child when Kearsey went missing. Her parents were divorced at the time and she said Kearsey, then 23, had re...

Jenny Jarvie | (TNS) Los Angeles TimesLAHAINA, Hawaii — Paele Kiakona is not ready to go back to work. Still reeling after August wildfires ravaged his hometown of Lahaina, he doesn’t want to serve tourists, pouring brut champagne or topping their mai tais with honey-liliko’i foam.“I’ve seen people dead on the street,” Kiakona said. “My grandma’s house is gone. My whole town died.”The 28-year-old Hawaii native who worked as a bartender at a farm-to-table restaurant north of Lahaina is wary of fielding questions, including what he says is now the ultimate dreaded icebreaker: “Did you lose your house in the fire?”In this moment, he said, visitors aren’t the ones who need his care.“Our aloha is reserved for our family right now,” Kiakona said. “It’s not just endless aloha.”Hawaii is famous for its “aloha spirit,” a concept rooted in Native Hawaiian culture that long ago was commo...
