Police on Thursday announced murder charges against the ex-boyfriend of a 20-year-old woman who was killed in 2003, decades after her body was found abandoned on a dirt road in New York.
Edward Holley, now 42, is accused of bludgeoning Megan McDonald to death on March 14, 2003, in the town of Wallkill, police said during a press conference. She died of blunt force trauma to the head.
Karen Whalen, McDonald's sister, said she never gave up hope that an arrest would be made. She said she had looked forward to a day when she can remember her slain sister without wondering who the killer was. Police interviewed Holley four times over the course of their investigation, Joseph Kolek, a New York State Police captain, said.
On March 13, 2003, McDonald told friends she was skipping a party because Holley was there, according to the criminal complaint. Witness statements from that night show McDonald tried, unsuccessfully, to get marijuana from a number of people. Holley had been her main supplier. Investigators believe McDonald turned to Holley as a"last resort."
Some of the physical evidence was gathered from McDonald's car, where she was killed, police said. The car was left parked at a different location from where McDonald's body was found.
