Cecelia Genatiempo was 17 when she was taken from a Gloversville donut shop on the night of July 24–25, 1976. Investigators determined she had been driven to a remote stretch of railroad tracks near Mohawk, where she was sexually assaulted, stabbed repeatedly, and hidden in a shallow grave. Hunters found her remains about three months later.

A break in the case came after a separate abduction and stabbing investigation in August 1979 led troopers to John William Hopkins. He accompanied officers to the barracks, consented to searches and a polygraph, and—after a surviving victim identified him—was arrested early on August 16. Hopkins later confessed, helped prepare a written statement, and drew diagrams of the abduction scene and the knife used. He was prosecuted and convicted on multiple serious charges connected to Genatiempo’s kidnapping, sexual assault, and death; those convictions and the trial court’s rulings about his statements were upheld on appeal.

Did anyone in the Gloversville or Mohawk area have contact with Cecelia in July 1976 or remember seeing a vehicle matching the descriptions linked to this case?
