McCullough’s half-sister says their mom implicated him in 1994

SYCAMORE – Eileen Tessier was weeks from her death in January 1994 when her daughter, Janet Tessier, said Eileen told her a terrible secret from her hospital bed.

It was about Jack McCullough, Eileen’s son and Janet’s half-brother.

“She grabbed my wrist and said, ‘Those two little girls, the one that disappeared, John did it,’ ” Janet Tessier testified in DeKalb County court Tuesday. “ ‘You’ve got to tell somebody.’ ”
