Arrest Made in Decades-Old Murder
Police have made an arrest in the 1985 killing of a 13-year-old boy whose body was found in a thicket months after he left home on a bicycle. 43-year-old Joseph Geiger is accused of killing David Reed of Schuylkill Haven. Geiger was arrested today – the 23rd anniversary of David's disappearance. He is scheduled to be arraigned later today on charges of third-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, abuse of corpse and tampering with evidence. State police exhumed the body in January after turning up new evidence in the case. The boy's family had welcomed the renewed attention, saying the original investigation was inadequate.
