Megan's Family Member

regarding the momentous and gratifying news that an arrest has been made and the coward who killed our beloved Megan more than 20 years ago is where he belongs, in jail, behind bars.

Over the course of 20 years, Megan's family has never given up hope that this day would come, and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the men and women who have helped make this day a reality.

We would like to thank the New York State Police for their enduring two decades long commitment to ensuring that Megan's killer was arrested.

Also, the FBI, Orange County Sheriff's Office, and other local law enforcement who have provided their support and expertise.

We wanna thank Paul DiGiacomo and the NYPD DEA's Association whose presence we have felt and helped us continue to stand.

Knowing that you have stood behind us, helping to push us forward is something that we have felt daily.

My father's brothers and sisters in blue united with us have helped give us the strength to continue fighting for Megan.

Standing here at Troop F headquarters, it is fitting to extend our public thanks and eternal gratitude to those individuals whose unwavering commitment and support to Megan's case and to our family have made today possible.
