Prosecutors may have revealed the identity of the man accused of killing 16-year-old Theresa Fusco in 1984, but much else about him still remains a mystery.

Richard Bilodeau, 63, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in Nassau County Court to two counts of murder in the second degree, charged in the rape and strangulation of the East Rockaway High School junior after she left her job at the snack bar of Hot Skates in Lynbrook on Nov. 10 of that year.

Prosecutors have not hinted at a motive behind the crime. His defense attorney, Daniel W. Russo, said outside the courtroom after his arraignment that he has a clean criminal record.

Bilodeau, who lives in Center Moriches, has worked at the Riverhead Walmart for the last 12 years, stocking shelves on the evening shift, prosecutors said.
