Police are looking for connections between a former pastor who has confessed to kidnapping and murdering an 8-year-old in Pennsylvania nearly 50 years ago and a cold-case disappearance of a young girl from Fairfield in 1991.
The Fairfield Police Department confirms 83-year-old David Zandstra lived in Fairfield at the time a young girl went missing. Zandstra lived just a few minutes away from the victim.
"I was shocked actually. I was really shocked," said a Fairfield resident who did not want to be identified. "It was a big deal, a very big deal. I'm sure if you went to any neighborhood in Fairfield, you would talk to people who remembers this," neighbor Kathleen Perez said. Fairfield investigators are now talking with authorities in Pennsylvania where the murder of the 8-year-old Gretchen Harrington happened and Georgia, where David Zandstra currently lives, to see if he could be linked to Nikki's case.
