KATZ, J.
The sole issue in this certified appeal is whether the Appellate Court properly upheld the trial court's decision to exclude the confession of a third party. We conclude that the trial court abused its discretion in failing to determine that the third party declarant was unavailable and, because the trial court did not decide whether her statement was trustworthy, we remand the case for further proceedings.
