Family raps confab McPhie death probe hits dead end
In Elyria the year-long inquiry into Amherst resident Alan J. McPhie's death has stalled with no clear pathway for further police action. Prosecutor Gregory White says the case is not closed and could reopen if new information emerges. McPhie, 41, was found Oct 15, 1987, in his home with signs suggesting asphyxiation and drug involvement, but lab tests have yielded no decisive results. His son Christopher reported hearing choking sounds and an unfamiliar voice, with doors tied by rope, while investigators describe baffling, unresolved pieces.
