A Bethpage man, Robert Horan, 43
is being questioned in the murder of
Suffolk police officer Det. Dennis
Wustenhoff, who was killed when a
bomb exploded his car in front of his
Patchoguc home last Thursday.
Horan, who is a Nassau County
Police Officer, is being question about
the murder of Wustenhoff, an under­cover
narcotics detective, due to
allegations that WustenhoH was
having an affair with his wife Nancy.
Sources say that those close to Horan
reported that he was aware of his
wife's affair for quite some time and
spoke of his outrage and jealousy
publically.
Police officers obtained a warrant
on Tuesday night and went to the
Bethpage home to search for evidence.
Robert Horan, his wife Nancy and
their two children have been vacation­ing
in upstate New York since Sat­urday,
although Horan is said to have
retained a lawyer and was questioned
by police on Tuesday night in regards
to the murder.
As of Wednesday, Police had stated
that there, was no concrete.or physical
evidence to prove that Wm^n is
responsible for the bombing and

have been able to construct a bomb
of this caliber and style.
At first, it was believed that Wus­tenhoff
was murdered due to the type
of undercover narcotics investigations

A Growing Problem in Bethpage
At a time when the community o;
Bethpage is coming together anc
really becoming an active and con­cerned
community we must deal with
an issue somewhat less publicized than
the Sterling Center proposal but
equally as important. Vandalism.
These pictures above show Bethpage's
newest bit of destruction which was,
completed this past weekend on
Broadway. My question is why? U
seems as though there has to be
something more constructive for
someone to put their energy into than
the destruction of our store fronts and
town. Time and time again whether
on Broadway, on Powell Avenue, at
our Parks or on your block we have
seen the remnants of graffiti and
destruction being scrubbed, painted
and repaired on our homes, stores and

conjunction with ihe AHA. A series
