An autopsy conducted by Dr. Ger

County Sheriff’s Department spokes
man Ed Barfield.
A forensic dentist from Atlanta, Dr.
Tom David, also took part in the
investigation, examining body tissue
and teeth marks found on the body.
Bromley had served as a Gaines
ville city police officer from Aug. 1972
until Dec. 1973. He then went to the
Hall County Sheriff’s Department
and served from 1973 until 1977 and
again from May of 1980 until he was
fired by Sheriff R.V. Mecum in 1981.
Mecum would not give details con
cerning the termination.
According to Barfield, last week,
after information was received re
garding evidence obtained during the
Holman case, District Attorney Andy
Fuller agreed to ask the September
term of the Hall County Grand Jury
to return on Sept. 30 to hear evidence
on the Holman case.
