Officials want mass DNA test
Christa Worthington was killed in her home in January 2002. Her murder was the first in the small Massachusetts town of Turo in 30 years.
She was stabbed in the chest and sexually asaulted. Her toddler, then 2 1/2 years old was found with her Mom's body. She had been dead at least 24 hours.
Christa Worthington was a former fashion writer. At just 26 years old she had began working in Paris for Women's Wear Daily. She had moved to Turo, Massachusetts to raise her child and be near family. She was a single mom.
Among the possible suspects, a 29 year old heroin addict and former prostitute who was allegedly having an affair with Christa's father. Worthington had told friends she wanted her dad to end the relationship with both the woman and her friends.
Her ex boyfriend that discovered her body, while "returning a flashlight".
Then there is the child's father, a married man. He found out she was pregnant after he had ended their relationship. Christa had demanded that Tony Jackett tell his wife about the affair and their baby in 2000. He did and surprisingly his wife started a relationship with both Christa and the child.
All of the suspects have had their DNA tested and there was no match.
"For now, mystery still surrounds the murder of Christa Worthington,
whose life was taken on Cape Cod's outer banks -- at Land's End, where she'd come for peace."
