Rhonda McLendon was 51 when she was murdered on August 15, 2018, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was working in the church office when investigators say she was shot twice in the head. The crime shocked the local congregation and community.

Authorities arrested fellow congregant Mary Jane Fonder and charged her with first-degree murder. Investigators tied a gun registered to Fonder to the killing after it was found by a boy fishing at nearby Lake Nockamixon and linked to the crime through forensic evidence. Prosecutors said Fonder had become infatuated with the church pastor and was jealous of McLendon’s relationship with him.

A separate line of inquiry mentioned the 1993 disappearance of Fonder’s father, Edward Fonder; police continued to look into that case. Does anyone have information about Rhonda’s last day at the church or about the weapon found near Lake Nockamixon?
