Edward Holley, a suspect in the 2-decade-old murder case of Megan McDonald in Orange County, appeared back in court on Wednesday after being released from jail last week. As NatDuddridgeTV reports, a special prosecutor is taking over.
Holley, 42, was arrested two weeks ago and charged in the 2003 killing of McDonald. Her body was found abandoned on a dirt road in Wallkill.released Holley last week because DA David Hoovler failed to set a grand jury evaluation within six daysHoovler's office said in a statement,"The District Attorney's Office was neither alerted to defendant's imminent arrest, nor given an opportunity to review the 17-page felony complaint in advance of it being filed with the court.
Hoovler requested a special prosecutor to oversee the case, citing a conflict of interest. Former Westchester prosecutor Julia Corachio has taken over.Investigators allege Holley and McDonald broke up a few days before her disappearance. "We believe this crime was intimate partner violence. Additionally, Ed Holley owed Megan a substantial sum of money," New York State Police Capt. Joseph Kolek said last month.
Holley has been questioned four times since McDonald's death. He has always maintained his innocence. "There's no nexus between him and whatever incident occurred," Weber said."Don't jump to conclusions. There are other suspects."
