Tree of Love victims memorial in Elkton set to blossom


ELKTON — The branches are bare on a recently-erected, stainless steel tree that stands on a concrete pedestal in the Unity Garden Courtyard fronting the Cecil County Circuit Courthouse on Main Street in Elkton.
But on Friday, during a low-key ceremony, that tree will sprout its first few leaves in the form of padlocks – each engraved with the name of a Cecil County resident who was killed at the hands of another. The victim’s birthdate and date of death also will be inscribed on the padlock.

His decision to secure that Pennsylvania arrest warrant more than 16 years ago loomed large on March 16.
That’s when Griest, now 49, received a 35-year prison term after pleading guilty to kidnapping and carjacking in his latest successful appeal of that dual-jurisdiction case relating to a 1999 abduction that started in Elkton and ended several hours later in Pennsylvania. ....
