On March 31, 1985, 10-year-old Joanne Moser of Evansburg, Pennsylvania, was killed after Palm Sunday services at St. James Episcopal Church in Lower Providence Township. Joanne was one of three people shot in the church parking lot by her father, Leon Jerome Moser. The victims also included her mother, Linda Moser, and sister, Donna Moser.

He had arranged to meet Linda and the children after the service; an argument followed when Linda refused his request to take the girls to visit his parents in Wisconsin. During the confrontation Leon produced a rifle and shot Joanne in the back of the head while she sat in the back seat of his car, then shot Linda and Donna.

An arrest was made at the scene and Leon Moser was charged in connection with the three deaths. Does anyone have memories of the church community or the family that could shed light on the events leading up to that day?
