Rensselaer County prosecutors moved one step closer Friday to charging convicted felon Johnny Oquendo with the 2015 murder of his 21-year-old stepdaughter, Noel Alkaramla, whose remains were found in a suitcase in the Hudson River. Rensselaer County Judge Andrew Ceresia granted a request by District Attorney Joel Abelove to have police take a buccal — or cheek swab — sample of Oquendo's DNA, which will be tested against blood and body fluids found in the remains of Alkaramla, whose body was found in a suitcase that washed up in Albany nearly six weeks after she vanished on Nov.
