James S. Martin was 74 and a retired deputy sheriff when he was found dead in his East Butler, Pennsylvania, home on December 30, 2016. A friend discovered him after he missed a planned breakfast. The house was ransacked and investigators determined Martin had been stabbed; his injuries and the condition of the scene suggested a violent struggle and intense anger by the attacker. Surveillance equipment inside and outside the residence had been deliberately damaged.

Detectives traced the use of Martin’s stolen credit and debit cards after his death to two local men. Store surveillance captured Christopher Michael Cannon, 27, and Raheem Rondel Archer, 23, using the cards. Electronic communications between Cannon and Martin occurred hours before the killing, and blood later matched to Martin was found in Cannon’s vehicle. After about two months of investigation, Cannon was arrested and charged with Martin’s murder.

Does anyone have information about Martin’s activities in East Butler in the days before December 30, 2016, or about the use of his cards afterward?
