Officials say they were handing out flyers asking drivers for information about the 1981 murder of 20-year-old Dawn Marino, from Unionville.

Marnio was last seen in Pine Island after a night out at several bars with friends. She vanished while waiting outside Rinky Dinks on Route 1 for a ride from a friend. Her body was found six years later by a hunter in a nearby cistern on Halloween.

Anyone with information about the homicide case is asked to contact New York State police at 845-344-5370.
