A new arts initiative in Queens has appointed a prominent leader from the borough’s cultural scene as its first executive director.

The victim in a Queens cold case homicide has finally been identified more than three decades after her body was discovered in a grassy area along the Cross Island Expressway near Cambria Heights in August 1991, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday.

Advanced DNA testing revealed the body of the murder victim, found with her ankles bound with a cord and covered with a large wooden board, was Judy Rodriguez, who was reported missing by her family shortly after being last seen on Jan. 23, 1991, at her daughter’s first birthday party.
