Chainsaw massacre: Pennsylvanian couple's chainsaw-mutilated bodies found in apparent murder-suicide
- 9 years ago
A 14-year-old Pennsylvania boy discovered his parent's chainsaw-mutilated bodies in their home Tuesday afternoon. The couple are identified as 48-year-old Chris Peppelman and his wife, 43-year-old Nicole Peppelman.
The couple's son says he found the pair unresponsive at around 12:50 p.m. Investigators say the couple had suffered severe lacerations on their bodies, which appear to have been afflicted by a chainsaw.
"Great people, we love them, we're going to miss them. They were fantastic neighbors, really liked them a lot," said neighbor Glen Nathan to WFMZ news.
According to neighbors, the Peppelmans were having trouble with their marriage, and police records reveal prior domestic disturbances at their home.
"I know they've had some troubles, I've heard that from mutual friends and people that were closer to them recently than I have been, but they have been together I guess for 15-20 years", friend Eric Shallcross said.
Nicole had apparently moved out with their three sons.
Investigators have only confirmed Nicole's death as a homicide, suggesting this could be a murder-suicide. A chainsaw was recovered at the house.
Investigators are not seeking any suspects in the case. An autopsy on the couple is scheduled for Wednesday.
