Testimony is now underway in the retrial of a Putnam County man charged in a 1994 murder.

Her remains were discovered in the woods in Patterson in 1995.

DiPippo was acquitted in 2016 after his third trial. He settled a lawsuit with the county for $12 million.

The defense says another man committed the crime. Prosecutors say they have enough evidence for a conviction.
