Police in Montgomery County, Md., made an arrest in the decades-old slaying of sheriff’s deputy James Tappen Hall.

“He was just out there doing his job,” Leggett said, noting that Hall wasn’t even supposed to be working that night. “He was filling in for another guy who couldn’t come in.” Philo remembers that her dad wasn’t just an attentive father and grandfather; he was also one who would show up with gallons of milk during snowstorms.
“There isn’t anything we can do,” Philo remembers one of the doctors telling them. Her father died days later.
