Former Fairfield Pastor Arrested for 1975 Cold Case Murder of 8-Year-Old Girl

Police have arrested 83-year-old David Zandstra, a former pastor, in connection with the 1975 murder of 8-year-old Gretchen Harrington in Pennsylvania. Zandstra admitted to killing the girl and lying about it for 48 years. He allegedly picked her up while she was walking to bible camp, took her to a secluded spot, and killed her. A recently published book on the cold case murder helped investigators solve the case. Zandstra, who served as a pastor in various churches, including in Solano County, is currently in police custody in Georgia and is fighting extradition.
