A man wanted in a nearly 36-year-old cold case murder has been arrested in North Carolina, police in Vernon Township, NJ confirmed Saturday. Lisa McBride, 27, vanished from her small lake home in the Highland Lakes section of Vernon in June 1990. Her remains were found in woods near the Delaware River four months later. Robert William McCaffrey, 54, of Manteo, North Carolina was taken into custody Friday night by a task force in Dare County, North Carolina, police said in a statement. McCaffrey is charged with 1st degree murder, kidnapping and burglary. McBride’s family desperately kept the case in the public eye for years after her death, according to NBC New York’s partners at the Bergen Record. McBride was an executive secretary at Lakeland State Bank in West Milford. She was a dancer through her school years, performing with a troupe in Romania at age 16, according to the Record. She was also an amateur competitive shooter and avid hiker. “We’re still handing the uncertainty,” McBride’s father George told the Record in 2003, 13 years after her killing. “We still go on living. But we think of her on holidays, on birthdays — every day really.” A 17-member task force investigated the disappearance, with help from the FBI. The case was featured on the national TV show: “Missing: Reward.” Police did not say in Saturday’s statement whether investigators believe McCaffrey knew McBride. Vernon Township Police, New Jersey State Police and the Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office coordinated with local authorities to arrest McCaffrey, who is being held in Dare County pending extradition. Police ask anyone with information about the case to call the Detective Bureau at 973-764-6155 or email [email protected] . The Bergen Record contributed to this report ...read more read less
