John Tessier, born Cherry, now known as Jack Daniel McCullough, 71 year-old, enters a King County Jail courtroom in Seattle on July 4, 2011 for his bail hearing after being arrested on June 29, 2011 for the 1957 abduction and murder of then seven-year-old Maria Ridulph of Sycamore, Illinois.
A 72 year-old Seattle man was found guilty today of the kidnapping and murder of a 7-year-old Sycamore girl, whose disappearance in 1957 captured the concern of Americans all the way up to President Dwight Eisenhower.
Judge James Hallock found Jack McCullough guilty of killing Maria Ridulph, whose body was found months after she vanished while playing near her home in December 1957.

John McCullough fut déclaré coupable de meurtre en 2012 et fut condamné à l'emprisonnement à perpétuité avec la possibilité d'une libération après 20 ans d'emprisonnement(selon les lois de l'État de l'Illinois).
Cependant, l'affaire pris un tournant inattendu plus tôt cette année, quand, après un examen post-condamnation, McCullough a été jugé innocent et fût libéré de prison le 15 avril 2016.
