Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The 1948 murder took place in my home county (Wayne) in Pennsylvania. I came across an article on the murder on a historical site that mentioned the 1920 murder of Officer McDonald. Even today murder is a rare occurrence in Wayne county and it must have been all the more shocking when it was realized Swingle had killed before. My former department has experienced 30 line of duty deaths in its history. It's gratifying to see that Officer McDonald is still remembered and honored by his descendants.

I said a little prayer today for Patrolman McDonald and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

It really would have been nice to meet you and for you to have seen what a wonderful father your son became to his 15 children, and what a wonderful aunt your daughter was to your 15 grand children.
