The Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing convictions of individuals sentenced to life without parole for second‑degree murder following the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision in Commonwealth v. Lee. The office published summaries of affected cases — including victims Kathy Grove (Jeffrey Kibe), Melissa "Missy" Conrad (Christopher Reed), Leslie White (Beth Ann Markman/William Houseman), Linda Ness (Tyler Mitchell Bradshaw, Shante Bruce Rice) and Todd Getgen (Raymond Peake) — noting families were told those sentences meant no parole and now face possible resentencing.
