A woman who was brutally murdered over thirty years ago has finally been identified but authorities are still searching for her missing daughter.
Police say Christine Belusko’s daughter, Christa Nicole Belusko, was last seen with her mom in September of 1991 at a lodge near Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. She was just two years old.
Today, she would be thirty-three.
Her mother's body was found brutally beaten, strangled, and burned on Staten Island’s east shore in 1991.
Her father is unknown.
Authorities confirmed Christa’s mother's identity using forensic genealogy in 2021 and made it public this week.
They learned about Christa after they reached out to Belusko's living relatives.
Authorities say none of Belusko’s family members knew she was murdered.
According to her family, she left home in 1991 after she found out she was adopted.
Authorities believe she knew her killer and the investigation into her murder is ongoing.
