Frank Donnelly, Adams County Detective

Frank Donnelly, an Adams County detective who raised questions about the case while reviewing it for Dean, also refused to comment.

The investigation continued with assistance from Adams County District Attorney's Office Detective Frank Donnelly, Littlestown Police Chief Donald Baker said.

Adams County Detective Frank Donnelly, who is reviewing the case for the prosecution, said throughout his career with the state police, where he served as a cold case investigator, he was always cautious about possible false confessions and would do everything he could to confirm them.

"I consider this statement to be largely uncorroborated and in need of corroboration," he said."That's as I sit here now having read everything and looked at everything, I still feel that way."

Donnelly drew an analogy to auto repair.

"If you're fixing a car, if you have it right, the part should slide into place," Donnelly said.
