GENEVA, N.Y. (AP) - One year after a pregnant teenager was stabbed in her home in central New York, the hunt for her missing boyfriend took a startling twist this spring: A size-13 sneaker with a fish-nibbled foot inside washed up on the nearby shore of Seneca Lake.
The next day, a badly decomposed body was spotted bobbing in weeds 14 miles away.
Police now suspect fugitive Alfonso Whitfield, whose remains were recently identified, drowned in a rain-swollen creek in Geneva as he scrambled to evade police minutes after Mercedes McIntosh was attacked in April 2009.
The 19-year-old victim, stabbed and slashed 22 times in the couple's apartment, still managed to call 911 and identified Whitfield as her attacker. She miscarried the next day, but survived.
