The FBI has announced that they will now be assisting the Foxboro Police Department in following leads related to the William Sheehan sex abuse case.
While a psychological report said Sheehan cannot stand trial due to his health, the local case remains open according to the Boston Globe.

When police went to arrest Sheehan at a Florida nursing home, he was found suffering from the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
