According to Pennsylvania State Police, there is a $10,000 reward for information into the killing which took place between 5 p.m. Aug. 31 and 1 p.m. Sept. 1, 2014. A previous reward of $5,000 was announced in February. The new incentive was set Monday. There is an additional reward being offered through Warren County Crime Stoppers.
