Cops clear jogger in Karina slay

A mystery man who ran the same Queens trail as murdered jogger Karina Vetrano (above) — and then disappeared after her killing — has talked with cops and is not considered a suspect or a witness, police officials said Tuesday.

The man came forward after hearing Vetrano’s father on the radio Monday night urging him to speak with detectives. Philip Vetrano said he had spotted the man running in the same area as his daughter “almost every day” before he “dropped off the face of the earth” after her murder in Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach on Aug. 2.

“He’s a 48-year-old man who hurt his knee and stopped jogging. Nothing more heinous than that,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said Tuesday.

“He’s not a subject at all . . . He voluntarily came into the precinct, and we sat down, and we talked to him. He self-identified as that person that Phil would see jogging prior to that.”

Officials added that they have recovered DNA at the scene — enough to develop a suspect “profile’’ — but were unable to find a match in their database.
