State Police: Two Dead in Apparent Murder-Suicide in Jefferson County

JEFFERSON CO., Pa. (EYT) — DuBois-based State Police say a murder-suicide occurred earlier this week on David Lane, in Brockway, Snyder Township, Jefferson County.

According to police, on Tuesday, April 10, 68-year-old James Wildnauer shot his wife 58-year-old Janice Wildnauer, both of Brockway — then he shot himself.

The bodies were discovered on Thursday morning, April 12, by a family member who was checking on Janice because she did not show up for work two days in a row.

The motive for the shootings is still under investigation.
