Former Minister Is Acquitted in 1975 Murder of 8-Year-Old Near Philadelphia

In a shocking turn of events, former Pennsylvania state Senator and Minister, Arthur Bomar, has been acquitted in the 1975 murder of 8-year-old Brianne Fahey near Philadelphia. The case, which had remained unsolved for over four decades, has finally come to a conclusion with Bomar being found not guilty by a jury of his peers.

The murder of Brianne Fahey rocked the Philadelphia community in 1975, as the young girl’s body was found in a wooded area near her home in Upper Darby. The case remained unsolved for years, with no viable suspects or leads to follow. However, in 2015, new DNA evidence came to light that implicated Bomar in the crime.

Bomar, who was a minister at the time of the murder and later went on to serve as a state Senator, vehemently denied any involvement in Brianne’s death. He maintained his innocence throughout the trial, stating that he had no connection to the young girl and had never even met her.

During the trial, Bomar’s defense team presented evidence that cast doubt on the DNA evidence linking him to the crime. They argued that the DNA could have been contaminated or tampered with over the years, and that there was no concrete proof that Bomar was the perpetrator.

After several weeks of testimony and deliberation, the jury ultimately found Bomar not guilty of Brianne Fahey’s murder. The decision has sparked mixed reactions from the community, with some believing that justice has been served, while others remain skeptical of the verdict.

Regardless of the outcome, the acquittal of Arthur Bomar in this decades-old murder case serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges of the criminal justice system. While the truth may never be fully known in this case, the Fahey family and the community at large can finally begin to find closure and move forward from this tragic chapter in their history.
