The witness, Jan Edwards [Swafford], was dating McCullough in 1957. Last year, she appeared on the "Dr. Phil" TV show and "provided information that was totally contrary to the state's theory of the case," McCulloch wrote.
In a 2010 interview, according to investigators, Edwards said she did not see McCullough the night Maria disappeared. Her father, she reportedly told investigators, forbade her from leaving the house as residents and authorities combed Sycamore for the missing girl.
But in a 2014 letter to DeKalb County State's Attorney Richard Schmack, Edwards disputed the report made by investigators.
"It is completely the opposite. I did not ever say that (McCullough) wasn't with me on that night or that Dad wouldn't let me out of the house," she wrote.

"I don't know whether it was a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday I'm not sure," Swafford said.

Swafford said she doesn't think McCullough killed Maria Ridulph.
"But they say Ted Bundy was a nice guy too," she added.
