Kenneth G. Halsaver Jr., a 74-year-old Caucasian male from Townville, PA, tragically died on September 22, 2015. His death was ruled a homicide by Crawford County Coroner Scott Schell after an autopsy revealed that he had been shot twice, once in the head and once in the neck. Kenneth was found dead inside his home in the 16000 block of Mercer Road in Steuben Township, northwest of Townville, at around 12:25 p.m. that day.
Co-workers became concerned when he failed to show up for work and contacted a family member, who discovered his body.
The investigation into Kenneth's death involved Pennsylvania State Police, who returned to the scene multiple times to search for evidence. They also impounded Kenneth's pickup truck, which was found after a police pursuit involving his estranged son, Dustin A. Halsaver. Dustin, who was 33 years old at the time, was arrested on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, including receiving stolen property, carrying a firearm without a license, and fleeing police. However, he has not been charged with the homicide, and investigators have not commented on a possible motive.
The case remains open, with state police continuing to search for clues and evidence to identify the killer and determine the motive behind Kenneth's death. The investigation has been extensive, involving multiple law enforcement agencies and a thorough examination of the crime scene and the victim's belongings.
Kenneth G. Halsaver Jr.'s death has left a lasting impact on his family and the community, and the search for justice continues as authorities work to solve this tragic case.
