Demetrios George Kalathas, 37, of Orrstown, Pennsylvania, was found dead on November 17, 2019, in the trunk of his own car in Lurgan Township, Franklin County. The death was ruled a homicide after investigators determined Kalathas had been shot multiple times.

Pennsylvania State Police identified 36-year-old Justin Lee Hockenberry of Orrstown as a person of interest; court documents later say Hockenberry admitted shooting Kalathas near a pond on his property, placing the body in Kalathas’s trunk and driving the car to a Lions Club parking lot. The shooting was linked to a drug debt of approximately $800, and additional charges included abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and possession of a controlled substance. Police say the two men had known each other about 20 years and had bought and sold drugs together.

Anyone who knew Demetrios Kalathas, his movements in November 2019, or who has information about this case is asked to contact Pennsylvania State Police.
