Holdridge and attorney Moira Buckley filed an appeal in 2017 that was based mostly on new evidence that a number of taped calls that came into the police dispatch center the day of the murders were never disclosed to the defense. Among the 41 calls they claimed not to have heard previously were calls from SWAT officers told not to respond to Sorghum Mill Road and a call from an officer it turns out was only a minute away from the Bank of America where Hawke-Petit was driven by Hayes and forced to withdraw $15,000.
