Law enforcement officials are still searching for Peter Manfredonia, a University of Connecticut student and Newtown High School graduate suspected of killing two people in recent days.
Manfredonia was last seen Sunday afternoon in eastern Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania state police released an image of him walking along railroad tracks carrying what appeared to be a large duffel bag.
It remains unknown what sparked the alleged crime spree that began Friday when police say Manfredonia attacked two men with a type of machete in upstate Connecticut. Theodore DeMers was killed during the incident in Willington and another man was critically injured, police said.
On Sunday, a Willington man reported being held captive by Manfredonia, who stole his guns, food, supplies and his truck during a home invasion, according to police.
A few hours later, police recovered the stolen truck in Derby, setting off an extensive search that led authorities to a Roosevelt Drive home about a mile away.
Police said video surveillance showed Manfredonia walking “directly” toward Nicholas Eisele’s home between 5 and 6 a.m. Sunday.
Police discovered Eisele, also a Newtown High School graduate described as an “acquaintance” of Manfredonia, dead inside the home. The cause remains under investigation.
By the time police arrived, Manfredonia had fled and kidnapped Eisele’s girlfriend in her 2016 Volkswagen Jetta. The woman and the car were recovered later Sunday in New Jersey. Police said the woman was unharmed and returned to Connecticut where she was interviewed by investigators.
