Widow of murdered police chief believes she will never get closure

The widow of a police chief killed on the job believes she will never get closure, even though the case is now closed.

Saxonburg Police Chief Greg Adams was shot and killed 37 years ago, and his widow, Mary Ann Jones, has wondered what happened to the suspect just as long.

Donald Eugene Webb, one of the FBI’s most-wanted fugitives, hid in a tiny room inside his wife’s Massachusetts home for nearly 20 years.

According to investigators, Webb was a career criminal with ties to the mafia. He was in Saxonburg at that time planning to break into a jewelry store, investigators said.

Facing a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jones and mounting pressure from police, Lillian Webb finally confessed in the Summer of 2017 that her husband had died in 1999 from a stroke and that she buried his body in the backyard.

“I want her to know she caused years of unnecessary pain when she could of just said, ‘Okay, he's dead, here's his body,’ 17 years ago and she never did,” said Jones.

Jones had two sons with Adams, and has since remarried. She is relieved to finally have some answers, but Jones said she is still troubled by how it all ended.

“There was never any justice for him being brutally killed the way he was,” Jones said.
