But it wasnt over: Kevin still had to be sentenced, while Galloway and Monzo plotted an appeal. Mary Ann, meanwhile, sued Kevin, Michele, and eight Pennsylvania state troopers, including Deana Kirkland and the former commissioner of the PSP, James Miller.

During the relationship between Michele Yelenic and Kevin Foley, the wrongful death lawsuit alleged, that while he lived with Michele Yelenic, Foley became obsessed with killing John, and began making comments to his PSP colleagues on a daily basis about wanting to kill him. He even asked other PSP colleagues to help him kill John Yelenic. Foley was manipulated by the defendant Michele Yelenic, who intentionally fueled and encouraged his hatred and jealousy Virtually none of Foleys colleagues including the defendants Bono, Fry, Zenisek, Shields, Kirkland, and Jacobs, in clear and unequivocal violation of PSP regulations to report such misconduct, ever acted to protect John Yelenic, or inhibit or discourage Kevin Foley in carrying out the plans of he and Michele Yelenic, despite being made aware by Foley himself of his intentions.

The lawsuit is still pending in federal court in Pennsylvania.

The day after the verdict was announced, according to Mary Ann Clark, Michele Yelenic packed her children and most of her household belongings into vehicles and departed the city of Indiana, walking away from the house on Susan Drive. Michele had not attended a single day of Kevins trial, no doubt not because she didnt support Kevin but because she was a potential witness, even if she was never called to testify. Michele moved to Savannah, Georgia, where she still lives as of this writing with Jamie, the trust fund millionaire, and the child adopted by Kevin. Kevin is still listed as a mail recipient at Micheles house, even though he is in prison in Pennsylvania. Nicole Kamler eventually enrolled in college at Pittsburgh, and Nathan at UIP in Indiana. Occasionally, neighbors around Susan Drive have reported someone looking like Nathan inside the house, now foreclosed, overgrown, and abandoned. Nathan was said to be driving a truck registered to Kevin, just another tragic victim of the Wonderful Life in Indiana, Pennsylvania.

Blairsville police chief Donald Hess was fired by the Blairsville City Council after taking sides in a dispute over a controversial downtown redevelopment project. He raised questions about what some of the city fathers were doing with federal money and helped secrete some of the redevelopments records pending further investigation. After being fired, Hess sued the city in federal court.

Corporal Janelle Lydic took over the position but soon was also removed. Mary Ann said she was told Lydic pulled her weapon on another police officer during a dispute and that she, too, was suing the city for wrongful dismissal. Jill Gaston took over as acting chief of the Blairsville Police Department.

George Emigh sued the Pennsylvania State Police over his own involuntary retirement, claiming that the department had violated his civil rights when it forced him out after thesexual harassment complaint lodged against him. He had the same lawyer as Mary Ann Clark.

Emighs supervisor Fulmer likewise left the PSP early, and he, too, sued his former employer. As noted, Bob Bell lost his race for reelection as Indiana County district attorney in 2008, in part, some believed, because of the Foley-Yelenic mess.

In June of 2009, Kevin was sentenced to life in prison. He is appealing the verdict.

Sowas the jury wrong when it convicted Kevin Foley of the murder of John Yelenic in less than six hours? Probably not. There was a massive amount of circumstantial evidence against Kevin, and even the disputed DNA evidence, when taken at the FBIs most conservative assessment, seemed to show he had to be the culprit. His DNA could not be eliminated, and with everything elsethe imprecations wishing Yelenic dead, the habitual knife flicking, the shoe treads, the Sheetz videosit was no wonder the jury convicted.

Yet, still one wonders: Why would Kevin sacrifice a fourteen-year career as a law enforcement officer and his relationship with a newly adopted child? By all accounts, Kevin would have been a very good father. If he did commit the murder, why did he hate Yelenic so much that he slashed him to pieces? What was to be gained? Nothing material, that was for sure. Once Michele had signed that divorce agreement, there was nothing more to be hadnot the property, not the rest of the money, certainly not the life insurance. So why?

Did something happen between John and Michele on the night of April 1213something that had enraged Kevin? Did Kevin go to the Yelenic house to confront John with what Kevin believed to be his latest outrage? Did John, thinking perhaps of Effie Alexanders ideas about spine, stand up to Kevin? If so, it would have been no match. Anddid a fight ensue, a fight in which John scratched Kevin on the forehead, inducing Kevin to produce his knife? Once John was cut, Kevin had to know he had to kill him: if John lived, Kevins own life would be over.

Was Kevin using steroids at the time? Its hard to say. Some aspects of his behavior seem to say so, others not. Emigh, for one, was sure that wasnt the case. He would have known, Emigh said later. Still, it might be one explanation for the horrific violence inflicted on John Yelenic, but not the only one. Sometimes passion can unleash terrible cruelty. Dying for love can sometimes be the most painful death of all.

The author wishes to thank the patient staffs of the courts of Indiana County, Common Pleas, Probate, and District, who patiently assembled a great many paper court records necessary to the telling off this story. Similar thanks go to the court staffs of Armstrong and Cambria counties, who ferreted out old records. Thanks also go to Anthony Krastek and Regis Kelly of the Pennsylvania attorney generals office, who patiently answered many questions about their prosecution of Kevin Foley. The Blairsville Police Departments acting chief Jill Gaston was also very helpful.

However, special thanks are due to Mary Ann Clark and Dr. Tom Riley, who freely shared their recollections of John Yelenic. The measure of a persons true worth is often in the friendships he or she makes, and according these people and others who knew and loved John Yelenic, he was a very good man indeed. While no one deserves to die before their time, sometimes circumstances make a death particularly outrageous.

The killing of John Yelenic was one of them.

February 2011

The killer drove through the narrow streets of the small town in west-central Pennsylvania. It was raining lightly, a midnight off-loading of warm, wet, windy, fat drops torpedoing down from the muggy darkness above. The intermittent spatter rendered the oily asphalt ahead shiny in his headlights. The atmosphere was pregnant with the sullenness of heavier thunderstorms that threatened from the northwest. It was the sort of edgy night that could make anyone sweat and wish it would just get it over with and pour.
