The former Christian preacher admitted to luring Gretchen Harrington to a secluded area “to have some sort of sexual pleasure,' according to a recording of an interview he gave police last summer.
An ex-preacher allegedly admitted to killing an 8-year-old Delco girl in 1975. His lawyer says his confession was coerced.
By the end of the interview, Zandstra admitted to driving Gretchen to a secluded section of Ridley Creek State Park and ordering her to undress “to have some sort of sexual pleasure,” according to a video recording of the confession played publicly for the first time during Wednesday’s hearing. Much asserted during Wednesday’s proceeding that Martin coerced and misled Zandstra, telling him the interview was informal and that he was not in any trouble. In reality, Much said, Martin had identified him as a suspect in the case and spoke to him alone, despite a request from Zandstra’s wife for the couple to be interviewed together do to his health issues, including what Much described as “vascular dementia.
The two troopers’ primary purpose in sitting down with the former preacher was to get a swab of his DNA, to compare it with evidence they had as they continued to investigate the case.
