The family of a Suffolk narcotics detective killed in front of his house 32 years ago is still searching for answers in his case.

On Feb. 15, 1990, Detective Dennis Wustenhoff was killed by a car bomb in front of his North Patchogue home. The day before, he had taken the day off to take one of his daughters to a dance at her school.

Police did name a person of interest after Wustenhoff's killing, but no one has been arrested.

"The whole investigation has been frustrating from day one. We don't know whether there were mistakes made, were there cover-ups, were there cover-ups of the mistakes? Why is this taking 32 years?" says Jenn Wustenhoff Lees, one of Wustenhoff's daughters.

It's a question the Wustenhoff family has been asking authorities for decades.

"Meeting after meeting, commissioner after commissioner, detective after detective. You know, we've gotten really nowhere in all these years," Lees says.

Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison tells News 12 in a statement, "The department remains committed to utilizing every resource available to solve this case. We want nothing more than to bring justice in this case for the Wustenhoff family, along with colleagues from the department. "

His three children set up a Facebook page to keep their father's cold case alive. They say media attention has helped raised $65,000 in reward money for information leading to their father's killer.

"We can't give up on him. It's not OK. He's not here to fight for his rights for himself anymore, so we have to do that for him," says another one of his daughters, Melissa Wustenhoff Scelsi.

The family set up a scholarship in Wustenhoff's name to help students graduating from Patchogue-Medford High School with their college expenses.
