David Zandstra, 83, of Marietta, Georgia, is charged with murder and kidnapping in connection with the 1975 disappearance and death of 8-year-old Gretchen Harrington.
Zandstra was a pastor at Trinity at the time and was in charge of helping transport campers from Trinity to Reformed in either a blue and white Volkswagen bus or in his green Rambler station wagon, the DA's office said.
Earlier this year, the best friend of Zandstra's daughter, who is named in the criminal complaint filed against the defendant, told authorities that while sleeping over the defendant's house one evening when she was 10, she awoke to Zandstra groping her. When the girl"told the defendant’s daughter about what had happened, the defendant’s daughter replied that the defendant did that sometimes," the DA's office wrote in a press release.
