A Florida man linked to a “horrific” 1978 double murder in West Springfield will be arraigned on Monday, December 2.
Timothy Joley, 71, of Clearwater, Florida has been charged in connection with the double murder of 18-year-old Theresa Marcoux and 20-year-old Mark Harnish.
On the morning of November 19, 1978, an officer discovered a green Dodge pickup with a damaged window parked in a parking lot on the roadway. Blood in and around the truck led the officer to a nearby guardrail, where the bullet-riddled bodies of Marcoux and Harnish were found.
A bloody print was found at the scene, and nearly five decades later, an anonymous tip came in linking Joley to the double murder.
Joley will be extradited to Massachusetts for his arraignment at the Hampden Hall of Justice in Springfield, Massachusetts.
