Blood Found In Northboro Home Matches Woman Found In Burning Car

WORCESTER, MA—New evidence has surfaced in a case that involves the death of a woman whose body was found in a burned car in Hope Cemetery in December.

Cynthia Webb, 59, of Sterling was found dead in a car still smoldering in a car in the cemetery on Dec. 12. Steven Foley, 56, was arrested on an outstanding warrant for Burning a Motor Vehicle.

Foley was held on $250,000 cash bail on Wednesday on a charge of maliciously damaging a motor vehicle, and Assistant District Terry J. McLaughlin said that during his arraignment, it was presented that DNA from blood found in a Northborough home where Foley stayed matched that of Webb's, reports the Worcester Telegram and Gazette.

McLaughlin said that Foley had told people he was there when Webb was killed, but was not the one who killed her and only disposed of her body.
