White died of his injuries three days afterward and was never able to tell the police officers of the incident. There were no witnesses run aground and the police never discovered any fingerprints or DNA to cooperate identify the actual perpetrator. Regardless, police originally suspected Matt stonemason of the murder but were unable to bring a case against him. stonemason and Tinney were acquaintances. Glenn Tinney original pled guilty to the murder of ted white in 1992.There was shew that was presented at court that got Tinney sentence unmortgaged. The evidence they had to get his sentence exonerated was the fact that none of the confessions matched the facts of the crime and an Ohio judge reversed Tinneys conviction. The prosecutor investigator was told Glenn Tinney may know something about Masons conjunction in ted whites murder, Tinney said that him and mason killed T ed white unneurotic but then a couple of days later he said he did the crimes alone. The police also uncovered that Glenn Tinney gave other statements that was non consistent with each other or with the facts of the crime.The court concluded that upon dear comparison of Tinneys confessions, he confessed to killing a man he could not identify, for conflicting motives which dont match the facts, at the ill-timed time of day, with a weapon that does not match the dupes injuries, by striking him in the wrong part of the head, and stealing items the victim either still possessed after the attach or plausibly never possessed.
