"The highly publicized crime repulsed people throughout the Hudson Valley, and its aftershocks were felt on Long Island years later, after Mr. Fentress was transferred to a state hospital in Kings Park in Suffolk County in 1985. He had been confined to a more secure hospital, the Mid-Hudson Psychiatric Center in Orange County and, according to Mr. Darrow, he was transferred after doctors decided that he was not dangerous.
After an unsubstantiated report that he was seen wandering the streets nearby, neighbors formed a human chain around the Kings Park hospital in protest. Mr. Fentress was moved to Pilgrim State when the Kings Park hospital closed in 1996."
