Over 15 years ago Debra Abbey was shot 3 times in her Mission Blvd home and was killed. She had been employed by FUSD for 17 years and was the custodian at Niles Elementary. The murder shocked the community. A 17 year old Newark boy was a "person of interest" by FPD, according to news reports at the time. 57 months later the 17 year old is arrested. And in October 2012 he is convicted of second degree murder and given 15 years to life. According to reports from the court hearing, a friend of the suspect tipped off police that he admitted killing Abbey. This may be the template for the Thad Steiner murder this past May. Perhaps police have a "person of interest" but are waiting for some solid evidence. Let's hope we won't have to wait 57 months for that case to be resolved.
