Police Waiting for DNA Test Results

New York State Police are waiting for DNA test results on a cigarette butt to come back to see if they can connect Steven Rebert to murders in Genesee and Orleans counties.

Rebert, who had lived in Emporium, is already charged with the April murders of Wayne and Vicky Shugar of Brockway.

Pennsylvania police contacted New York police when, during their investigation, they found that Rebert had done Google searches on the unsolved murders of Bill Fickel and Kevin Smith.

When reviewing their files, New York police saw that a cigarette butt had been found at one of the crime scenes and they were able to get a DNA sample from it.

They say it could take a couple of months to get the test results back.

Rebert is scheduled to be in district court Monday for the Shugar murders.
