we got there early, around 5:00, and we sat up as he was walking to his car, we rolled right out and jumped out, when i put the handcuffs on him i said you re under arrest for the murder of kathy heckel. he told his son that he needs to get a different ride to work. lo and behold he s arrested, what is i d like to hear? in our thankfulness that we were getting somewhere. still a long way to go? still a long way to go. in many ways, the arrest of 65 year old loyd groves, was the easy part. legal maneuvering delayed his trial another three and a half years. for the defense, that delay gave their investigators time to poke holes in the prosecution s case. this case had holes you can drive trucks through. tom bruno and his wife amy where the defense team s investigators. we were in the case for
nearly four years, we actually talked about him. i would guarantee every day. tom, a former cop, knew how to look for flaws in the police work. amy, a lock haven native, had grown up with the kathy heckel story. you talk to anyone in town, they would all say that lloyd killed her, and he put her in a vat of acid and dissolved her acid. there was a working theory for years. tom said the policy read in preventing that, in fact he we actually discovered that in the police report, in medical records that she had cut her finger at work. it was bleeding so badly that she had to get it treated so three times, this was at the time that she was allegedly in floyd s van every day. so if the prosecution plan to make a big deal out of a dna test showing her blood in loyd groves s than, the defenses response would be so wet.
