NEW YORK -- A man arrested last week in a cold case murder is now out of jail. 

Edward Holley was accused of killing his ex-girlfriend, Megan McDonald, 20 years ago in Wallkill.

Holley was released Thursday, because a grand jury did not indict him within a legally required six-day window

The district attorney says police did not consult him before the arrest.
