Engaged Couple Found Dead


"LOGAN TOWNSHIP, PA — Two people are dead after a murder-suicide Monday in Logan Township, police said Tuesday.

"Julie Rightnour, 29, was shot by her boyfriend, Jason Hott, 32, at the rental house the two shared at 3258 Homers Gap Road sometime after 7:30 p.m. Monday before Hott turned the gun, a 12-gauge shotgun, on himself, police said. According to Hott's Facebook page, he was engaged to marry Rightnour.

"`We're not sure what transpired and there were no witnesses,` Logan Township Police Chief Ron Heller said.

"The pair were discovered by Rightnour's family members who went to the home after she didn't show up for work Tuesday. Police were called to the scene at 9:19 a.m., Heller said.

"Hott had an extensive criminal history, mostly involving bad checks and theft-related cases, court records show."
