Karina Vetrano’s killer now has a $20,000 bounty on his head.
Police announced Tuesday the reward for information about the criminal who sexually abused, then murdered the 30-year-old beauty as she ran alone through a Queens park last week has been raised to $20,000.
The reward was increased after forensic investigators successfully recovered DNA from another person on Vetrano’s body — but they haven’t been able to match it to anyone so far, police sources said Tuesday.
Cops were still combing through DNA databases looking for a match to the sample found on Karina Vetrano after she was killed in Spring Creek Park on Aug. 2, the sources said.
Vetrano was beaten and raped before she was strangled to death, officials said. Investigators believe the killer was a stranger who jumped the jogger in the remote area, where weeds can reach 10 feet high.
