Court Grants Motion to Exhume RI Woman’s Remains

ABC6: Daughter searches for answers after her mother’s suspicious death

Justice For Sled Dog: Reopen Lori Lee "Sled Dog" Malloy's Unsolved Homicide Investigation

CASE SUMMARY​

On Sunday, March 7, 1993, 30-year-old Lori Lee "Sled Dog" Malloy was found dead by police on the bathroom floor of her East Providence, Rhode Island apartment, following an odd welfare call from her boyfriend. The front door to the apartment was open and the bathroom sink faucet was running when officers arrived on scene. There were two drinking glasses and leftover food salad on the kitchen table. The refrigerator was full but unplugged.

The young mother was naked, with recent bruises on her upper thighs and arm. Her dark hair was ripped out, all over the apartment. She had a clump of hair between the toes of one foot, strands wrapped between the fingers of one hand and a "bracelet" of hair around the other.

Case was just reopened by RI AGs Office. Any ideas on COD, suspects?
 
Lauren Lee Malloy — 22 Who Made a Difference in 2022

"Lauren Lee Malloy is on a mission — to get answers into her mother’s death nearly 30 years ago.
Despite the original medical examiner’s report ruling the death as "natural," Malloy — armed with another forensic pathologist’s opinion that the case should be reexamined — pursued reopening the case."
 
RI Exhumes Body of Woman Who Died 30 Years Ago

"I don’t want money; I don’t want to go after the original medical examiner,” Malloy had told GoLocal. “I just want the case closed the right way.” “Miss Malloy,” Stephen Dambruch, Special Assistant Attorney General, wrote Malloy on Wednesday. “The exhumation took place this afternoon and your mother’s remains have been transported to the Medical Examiners Office for forensic examination and testing. According to Dr. Chirkov, that process will take several weeks."
 
A couple of questions:
Why was the case labeled as "homicide" initially? What made them suspect foul play?
Whas there any bread in her stomach? That would indicate she was eating it when she died. If not... why where the slices on the floor near her body?
The full but unplugged refrigerator is another weird detail.

30 years after Rhode Island woman found dead in apartment, daughter expects new evidence in cold case

Lauren Lee Malloy, daughter of deceased Lori Lee Malloy, is working to uncover the facts about her mother's death, which was initially labeled as a homicide in 1993.

Neronha seeks funding for statewide cold case unit

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha is pushing to create a statewide cold case unit.
www.wpri.com www.wpri.com

''Neronha has requested an additional $300,000 from the state to launch the cold case unit, which he believes is long overdue.

The cold case unit would consist of at least two prosecutors and two investigators, according to Neronha, who testified before the House Subcommittee on Public Safety Thursday evening.

Neronha said right now, his office doesn’t have the resources to take on cold cases.

“We can’t do cold cases when my prosecutors are handling 300 cases each,” he told lawmakers.

Lauren Malloy, founder of Unsolved RI, also testified in favor of the creation of a statewide cold case unit.''

“I didn’t know about [my mother’s] case until 2020, but when I learned what had happened to her my first instinct was to look up ‘RI cold case unit,'” she said. “To my surprise, a statewide unit did not exist.”

''That’s when Malloy took it upon herself to conduct her own investigation, which led to her mother’s case being reopened last fall.


“My mom’s case was assigned to a prosecutor within the criminal division, but because of their overwhelming caseload, the office was unable to immediately investigate,” she said.''

Unit specializing in cold cases: Why RI's Neronha thinks it's key to stopping crime

Advances in technology and science have created a promising new era of opportunity for a unit to tackle unsolved murders.
www.providencejournal.com

''The circumstances of a woman's 1993 death in East Providence warranted some attention.

Attorney General Peter Neronha saw a role for his office. For one thing, exhuming the body of the woman would require a court order.

What was nowhere near as definite was how Neronha would find the staff that were needed to do the work.

For that reason, the case of the East Providence woman — remembered by her family as Lori Lee Malloy — is an example Neronha mentions as he campaigns for the establishment of a new unit dedicated to investigating cold cases.''

''What is needed for the cold case unit in Rhode Island ?​

The office's budget request for the fiscal year that starts July 1 encompasses $350,000 to set up a four-person team — two prosecutors and two investigators — that would focus on cold cases and also provide support to police detectives.''


"Our ability to do that is much enhanced from where it was 10 years ago," he said.

Such statements might unnerve some killers who haven't yet faced justice. Neronha's written request to the legislature makes it clear that he believes investigating and arresting the perpetrators of violent crimes helps to deter and prevent violent crimes. Unsolved homicides are part of the mix.''

Good questions. I read through the investigation report posted online. It said the door left open, hair everywhere and two drinking glasses stood out as suspicious, along with a tuft of lighter-colored hair that "looked as if it had been pulled out of someone's head." Autopsy report online said there was nothing in her stomach except a little bit of brownish/clear liquid. All super weird.

New efforts in Rhode Island to reexamine decades old cold cases met by roadblocks

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha wants to create a cold case unit to dig into unsolved cases, but his proposal has met resistance.
turnto10.com turnto10.com
''Lauren was just 18 months old on Sunday, March 7, 1993, when her mother, Lori Lee Malloy, was found dead in her East Providence apartment following a strange welfare call from her boyfriend.

She was naked, had bruises on her upper thighs and arm, and chunks of her hair had been ripped out and thrown across the apartment.

The case was initially investigated as a homicide, but not for long.''

''The medical examiner ruled the 30-year-old died of heart problems, despite the scene telling a very different story.

“The front door to our apartment was left open,” Lauren said. “There were two drinking glasses on the table and plates with leftover food. The bathroom faucet was left running.”

Meanwhile in Rhode Island, most prosecutors in Neronha’s office are handling over 250 active cases at once, some of them, handling upwards of 300.

“It’s just impossible to handle that many cases and dive into a cold case,” he said''

''She also created a website to highlight cold cases in Rhode Island and bring the families of victims together.''

GoLocalProv | News | 162 Days After Her Mother’s Remains Were Exhumed, Lauren Lee Malloy Is Still Waiting for Answers

Lauren Lee Malloy is still waiting for answers about her mother's death, 162 days after the remains of Lori Lee Malloy were exhumed by the Rhode Island Medical Examiner’s Office.

Lauren Lee Malloy is still waiting for answers about her mother's death, 162 days after the remains of Lori Lee Malloy were exhumed by the Rhode Island Medical Examiner’s Office. [...]

And since then, Malloy has been waiting -- and being given conflicting information from the Attorney General and Medical Examiner's offices.

“I was initially told by the Attorney General’s Office to expect results in four to five weeks. I remember how deflated I felt by week six. By week 12, a contact advised the Medical Examiner’s Office was ‘averaging over 100 days’ for results, so I went with that new number,” said Malloy on Tuesday. “By day 120, I tried to focus on just being patient. By day 156, I was advised detectives didn’t know what the holdup was about. Today is day 161. Still no answers.”
