Rachel Ann Dukus, 57, of Hunlock Creek, Pennsylvania, was found unresponsive inside a home on Pavlick Road near Plymouth Township and pronounced dead at 6:45 a.m. on January 3, 2015. The Luzerne County coroner ruled her death a homicide, finding a gunshot wound to the head as the cause of death.

Family remembered her as Rachel Gleco Dukus, born April 11, 1957, in Nanticoke, a 1975 graduate of John S. Fine Sr. High School who worked for employers including Erwin Staffing, Letica Bucket Company and Techneglas, and was connected to Diamond Valley Church in Dallas. Her obituary noted she enjoyed arts and crafts and spending time with nieces and nephews.

State police charged her brother, 44-year-old Nicholas Gleco, on January 29, 2015, alleging Rachel was fatally shot during a confrontation about a missing rifle that had belonged to their late father. Police reported Gleco told investigators the shooting was accidental. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter; other counts including aggravated assault were pursued early on but an aggravated assault charge was later withdrawn. Gleco entered a guilty plea to misdemeanor involuntary manslaughter and recklessly endangering another person and was sentenced to serve nine to 18 months in county custody.

Did anyone in the community know Rachel or the Gleco family and have details about the days before January 3, 2015?
