Investigators have connected DNA evidence from the 2004 murder of a 21-year-old Juilliard student to DNA from an act of vandalism at Occupy Wall Street, NBC 4 New York reported.

Sarah Fox was running in a Manhattan park eight years ago and later found nude and strangled with her CD player a short distance away. DNA found on the CD player is linked to DNA discovered on a chain left by Occupy Wall Street protestors at a March demonstration in a Brooklyn subway station, the channel reported.

At the event, protestors chained open emergency exits and taped up turnstiles in several subway stations, and encouraged riders to enter for free.

According to NBC 4, there is no immediate evidence that the DNA belongs to one of the OWS protestors who chained open the gates.

For years, Dimitry Sheiman was the prime suspect in the murder. In June, he claimed to be a clairvoyant who wanted to help cops catch the killer, MyFoxNY reported. He insisted they came from clairvoyant visions and that he still communicates with Sarah's spirit.

Police are continuing to investigate.
