Michelle Lynn Inch, 31, was last seen alive on January 26, 2016, leaving Canton with her boyfriend, Michael Houseweart, who said they were going target shooting. The next day two men, wearing masks and armed with a rifle, forced their way into the home of Michelle’s parents, Gary and Linda Inch, bound the couple with duct tape and set the house on fire; Linda escaped and firefighters rescued Gary.

Michelle’s body was found in March along a creek in Overton Township, Bradford County. An autopsy showed she had been shot, stabbed multiple times and suffered blunt force trauma. Investigators recovered a piece of Houseweart’s shotgun near her body; DNA and blood evidence linked Houseweart to the murder and placed Michelle’s blood in her car and on his shoe. Houseweart gave inconsistent accounts of her whereabouts and was charged with criminal homicide. He later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received life in prison; he also drew a consecutive 61.5 to 153 year sentence for the attempted homicide, arson and robbery of her parents. Brian Vroman faced charges in the home invasion and arson but was not charged in Michelle’s death.
