On October 31, 2019, a 911 call from the driveway of a New Paris, Pennsylvania home set off a homicide investigation when 35-year-old Benjamin Lee Figard told the dispatcher he had shot his wife and stepdaughter. Responding state troopers found Benjamin and took him into custody without resistance. In the basement of the Rocklick Hollow Road house, officers discovered the bodies of 40-year-old Amanda Jane Figard and 12-year-old Laina Rae Haney; both were later pronounced dead at the scene by the Bedford County Coroner.

Investigators recovered a handgun near Benjamin Figard’s car and reported evidence of an attempted cleanup inside the home, including carpet cleaner purchased from a local store just hours after the shootings. Benjamin was taken for questioning the next morning and allegedly confessed. He was charged with two counts each of first-degree murder, criminal homicide, and voluntary manslaughter, plus a misdemeanor count of tampering with physical evidence, and was denied bail.

Does anyone have information about Amanda’s life in the New Paris area or observed activity around the Rocklick Hollow Road residence on October 31, 2019?
