Bombing is a coward's crime.

For years I've been waiting to see justice served for a bombing in Middlesex NJ in 1982 that killed 2 parents, leaving 3 little boys orphans. No motive was ever discovered. So sad. Look up Andrew Puskas if you have a chance. Some crimes you never forget.

2 other cold cases in NJ that I couldn't forget was the murder of Timothy Wiltsey by his mother, and the family annihilation by John List. Both received justice. I'll pray that yours is also solved. I'm sorry I have nothing else to offer you.

FBI Reopening 30-Year-Old Cold Case Involving Murder Of Suffolk County Detective
''They were children at the time but said they will never forget the day they lost their father, and Suffolk County lost a cop. Wustenhoff bled to death hours after someone blew up his unmarked car in front of their Patchogue home.

“He was a cop to the community, but to us, he was just such an involved dad,” daughter Melissa Scelsi said. “My whole world just collapsed.”

Police tripled the reward for information leading to an arrest in the 1990 killing of a Suffolk County detective killed by a car bomb in front of his own home.

Detective Dennis Wustenhoff, a narcotics detective, died on Feb. 15, 1990 in in North Patchogue. His family told PIX11 they believe the bomb inside the unmarked Cadillac Eldorado was meant to detonate on Valentine’s Day.

Melissa Wustenhoff-Scelsi told PIX11's Mary Murphy her dad had taken off that day to attend a father-daughter dance with her.

“He didn’t get to dance with me at my wedding, but I’m grateful we had that last night together," she said.

When the bomb went off the next day, Detective Wustenhoff lived for three more hours, his daughter said.

“He knew he was dying," Wustenhoff-Scelsi said.

The detectives insides were "obliterated," son Kevin Wustenhoff said.

In a recent post to the Facebook group, "Justice For Dennis Wustenhoff," which was set up in his honor, his daughter, Jenn, noted that another February had begun and it's "like a countdown to neverending heartbreak, frustration, and a void that we can't seem to fill."

It's "a month of lumps in our throats, echos of bagpipes haunting our minds, familiar cold weather, anxiety, and sadness," she said. "In just two weeks, it will be 35 years of no justice for my dad
