This 28-year-old case of the brutal murder of a beloved Pennsylvania cop is well past its time. The accused murderer, Donald Eugene Webb, has been on FBI’s most wanted list shortly after the cop’s death and taken off just in 2007. The case is so old, he is “thought” to be dead, as he will already be in his late 70’s.

The author of this article, Michelle Maskaly, brings back painful memories to the cop’s family, friends and former co-workers. Although the cop, Police Chief Gregory Adams, is still in their hearts, it’s a long waited case that should come to a close.

Smith has a chapter called “Compassion, Privacy, and Ordinary Citizens.” I think the reporter for this article disrespects the compassion for those involved. The case is old, and the accused murderer is still not found, but is it necessary to have testimonials of the painful memory brought from the back of their minds? Each person has since moved on and remembers Adams.

The reporter should have focused more on the FBI taking him off the longest running most wanted list instead of the memories of the families. Maybe testimonials from older articles would have been more appropriate.
