Delaware County District Attorney’s OfficeOn. Aug. 15, 1975, 8-year-old Gretchen Harrington was walking to Bible camp in a township outside Philadelphia when she was kidnapped and murdered.a man who had been the pastor of one of the camp's host churches has been arrested and charged with Harrington's murder.
"Guess what?" the witness is quoted as writing in an entry dated Sept. 15, 1975."A man tried to kidnap Holly twice! It's a secret I can't tell anyone, but I think he might be the one who kidnapped Gretchen. I think it was Mr. Z." Zandstra said that he was driving Aug. 15, 1975, when he came upon Harrington walking to the Bible camp hosted by his congregation, Trinity Church Chapel Christian Reform Church, the criminal complaint states.
The victim usually walked with her two sisters, but they stayed home that day because her mother had just given birth, prosecutors said. Harrington's father encouraged her to walk alone because she had a perfect attendance record, they said. Marple Township Police Chief Graeff Brandon said Harrington’s time on Earth was “a life unfulfilled … because of pure evil and depravity.”
