A violent home invasion in the early morning of September 25, 2017, left 54-year-old Joseph Blanco dead in his Lebanon, Pennsylvania, home. Two men forced their way in intending to rob Joseph’s son, Cory, because Cory was believed to be involved in drug dealing. During the confrontation Scott Kirchner II, armed with a handgun, shot Joseph three times in the chest. Joseph’s wife Trudy was shot in the hip and survived; Trudy’s sister was also injured. A young grandson in the room was physically unharmed but witnessed the attack.

Police identified Kirchner and Charles Holloway as the intruders who targeted the house for drugs and cash. The investigation led to charges against the men for their roles in the invasion. In the aftermath Cory Blanco faced separate drug-related and child endangerment charges.

Did anyone in the Lebanon area have contact with the Blanco family or notice suspicious activity around the house before that September morning?
