Petition Dismissed Over estate actions in Frederick County
Frederick County Orphans Court dismissed Register of Wills Thomas M. Eichelberger's bid to remove Anna Rae Suter as personal representative of Virginia M. Keesecker's estate. The ruling links to four cases in an ethics probe of former judge Shirley Happ, who resigned after alleged conflicts between real estate dealings and judicial duties. Suter's role as agent in a Keesecker house sale and Eichelberger’s questions about filings were central to the dispute. Ms. Suter described the move as roadblocks and a scapegoat effort amid countywide tensions.
