John Frew Jr, 47, of Ashville, Pennsylvania, was shot multiple times in the chest and killed on September 27, 2013, during a violent confrontation at the Frew family home that also left his mother, Roberta Frew, 64, and his sister, Josephine Ruckinger, 43, dead, and killed Josephine’s husband, Jeffrey Ruckinger, 43. John Frew Sr discovered the intruders and, in an act described as self-defense, shot and killed both Josephine and Jeffrey.

Investigators reported the Ruckingers brought ammunition, a gas can, and lighter fluid, and that longstanding estrangement and animosity in the family were believed to be motives for the attack. Few details remain about what led directly to the confrontation that night.

Does anyone have information about the feud or memories of the family that could help clarify what happened?
