Reber grand jury comes up empty

Insufficient evidence exists to indict anyone for the 1968 murder of 14-year-old Peggy Reber, a Lebanon County grand jury investigating her homicide concluded in a report made public yesterday.
“We conclude that no probable cause exists for us to recommend any person, to include Richard Boyer, be indicted for the 1968 murder of Margaret “Peggy” Reber,” the grand jury wrote.

Over a period of eight months, the 23-member grand jury met 11 times and heard testimony from 33 witnesses and reviewed 463 pages of exhibits.

“There is no forensic evidence linking any known individual to the murder,” the report states.
