A grand jury recently indicted a man for a two decades old murder involving the daughter of an NYPD detective.
Edward Holley, 42, was
last April and charged with murder in Megan McDonald’s 2003 death.
Her body was found on March 15, 2003, in a field off Bowser Road.
For the family, while they are gratified he’s finally facing his day in court, they still have questions they wanted answered – namely, why it’s taken so long.
“My sister was, is wonderful,” said McDonald’s sister Karen Whalen. “The whole point of this for us, for our family, our entire goal is to get my sister back, is to stop talking about how she died.”
The family is getting closer to the case being closed on the 20-year-old’s murder in Wallkill.
“I can’t stand for no answers,” added Whalen.
Holley was arraigned and pleaded not guilty last week to second degree murder charges.
Investigators say the 42-year-old killed Megan because he was angry she was dating someone else and he owed her money.
He was first arraigned last spring, but a judge freed him when the Orange County District Attorney failed to secure an indictment within six days as required by law.
