Police to discuss search for murder victims

AMBOY— Authorities plan to announce a development in the case of two central New York women whose remains are believed to have been hidden in central New York by the man convicted of killing the women.

The Post-Standard of Syracuse reports (http://bit.ly/rEon7V ) that police spent Tuesday digging in a wooded area in the Oswego County town of Amboy, 25 miles north of Syracuse. The newspaper reports that authorities plan to hold a news conference Wednesday to discuss the case.

Police from neighboring Onondaga County began searching rural areas of Oswego County last week for the remains of Josephine Chatraw and Peggy Reiley.

They were murdered eight years apart by Philip Whaley of Syracuse, who was convicted of the slayings in 1996. Their bodies were never found.

The 61-year-old Whaley is serving 50 years in prison for the murders.
