Pamela Jean Mascaro lived in Forest Hills with her husband and 3-year-old daughter. On Christmas night 1992, while the family was on the Grand Central Parkway, driving home from a Christmas dinner, Ms. Mascaro was killed by a shot fired from a nearby car. The suspect, a convicted burglar, was arrested in 1998, just moments after being released from prison on another charge. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 5 to 15 years for the killing.
