David Ewing Kimberly, 56, of Rural Valley, Pennsylvania, was reported missing on September 28, 2024, after his family could not reach him. Kimberly, who had congestive heart failure and needed daily medication, was last seen on September 23, according to his wife Jennifer Kimberly, who told police he left their Reefer Hollow Road home in his van after she asked for a divorce.

Investigators found Kimberly’s van concealed in woods near the home on October 12. Police interviewed Jennifer’s 33-year-old son from a previous relationship, Cody James Weiland, who was discovered in the basement after his mother had said he was not there. Weiland confessed to shooting Kimberly at the Reefer Hollow Road residence on September 23, moving the body to a remote location in Jefferson County, and police later recovered Kimberly’s remains.

Jennifer Kimberly admitted she knew her husband was not missing and helped her son hide evidence. Weiland was arrested and held without bond on charges including first-degree murder, criminal homicide, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence; his case was held for trial after waiving a preliminary hearing. Jennifer was arrested in February 2025 on charges of tampering with physical evidence and abuse of a corpse and was held pending a preliminary hearing.
