After Patricia Viola disappeared, her husband lobbied to require New Jersey police to enter DNA samples from families of missing persons in CODIS because he knew that would help solve cases. And CODIS was exactly what would bring answers in Pat’s case. 

This case is *unsolved*

If you have information about the suspicious death of Patricia Viola, you can call the Bogota Police Department at (201) 487-2400.
