Jeffrey E. Mickle, 41, was last seen by family on November 25, 2023. A missing person report filed four days later set off an investigation that ended when his body was discovered in a junkyard in the Town of Broome. He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was concealed under a truck cap.

Arrests followed quickly. On December 1, 2023, 24-year-old Michael Todtschinder was arrested in Dalton, Pennsylvania and charged with second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence. A 39-year-old Walter J. Fahrenkopf was arrested and charged with concealment of a human corpse for allegedly helping hide Mickle’s body. In June 2024, Jenna Fahrenkopf, formerly known as Jenna Beretz, turned herself in and was charged with first-degree manslaughter.

By May 2024 Walter Fahrenkopf had pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and concealment of a human corpse and was expected to receive a 20-year sentence. Where did anyone last see Jeffrey on November 25, or does someone have information about his movements that day?
