Demetrio Seantallis Hughes, a 24-year-old Hispanic man, was found dead in woods near Tannersville, Pennsylvania, on March 16, 2016. Investigators determined he had been intentionally killed after being lured to the area under the pretense of a burglary. He had been shot in the head and his body was returned to the scene the next day and burned.

The investigation involved the Pennsylvania State Police, the Monroe County Office of the District Attorney, the Monroe County Office of the Coroner, and assistance from the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Prosecutors say Michael Owens and Randy Criste-Troutman shot Hughes and then attempted to conceal the crime by burning the body. Criste-Troutman later pleaded guilty to homicide charges; Michael Owens was convicted of first-degree murder after five days of witness testimony, including Criste-Troutman’s account.

Hughes was 24 when he was killed. Was anyone in the Stroudsburg or Tannersville area aware of suspicious activity around March 16, 2016, that could shed more light on what happened?
