Kenneth Bittinger, 83, and Helen Dobransky, 97, were found shot to death in their Osnaburg Township farmhouse on November 12, 2014. A visiting couple who knocked on the door and got no response alerted Stark County sheriff’s deputies, who entered and discovered Bittinger lying on the floor in one room and Dobransky in another. Investigators believed both had been dead for several hours and that each had been shot multiple times.

Bittinger was Dobransky’s caregiver and a longtime family friend; neighbors described him as friendly, a collector of tractors, and someone who cared for several dogs and cats. Dobransky owned multiple properties nearby and was remembered for her gardening and sitting on her front porch. DNA evidence was collected at the scene and an autopsy was planned; as of the latest updates, no arrests or publicly identified suspects had been announced and the investigation remained open.

Did anyone in the area know of recent visitors, unusual activity, or anyone who might have had contact with the couple in the days before November 12, 2014?
