Edward Holley Indicted for 2003 Murder of NYPD Detective's Daughter

Wheelchair-bound Ex-boyfriend Faces Life Sentence if Convicted; McDonald Family Expresses Relief at Progress in Two-decade-old Case

Edward Holley, 43, has been indicted by an Orange County grand jury on one count of second-degree murder for the 2003 killing of 20-year-old Megan McDonald.
Holley, who is wheelchair-bound following a 2007 car crash, was the ex-boyfriend of McDonald, whose body was found in a field in upstate New York.
Holley was initially accused of McDonald's killing on April 20, 2023, when he was formally arrested. He maintains his innocence.
If convicted, Holley faces a maximum of 25 years to life in prison.
The McDonald family issued a statement saying they are 'gratified and relieved' to hear of the indictment and have waited for two decades to see justice served.
