Two teens are now behind bars and are being charged with the
death of Autumn Pasquale. Here’s KSDK with the details.
“Her BMX and backpack
were also found here. Two teenage brothers who live in the house have now been charged
with her ***. Investigators say they killed her for her bike.”
WPVI reports Pasquale
went missing Saturday afternoon. After being lured into the home of two teens, her body
was found in a blue recycling bin just a few blocks away from her own home on Monday. The
mother of the accused brothers tipped off police.
“Authorities zeroed in on the
two teens after their mother went to authorities about suspicious Facebook postings. Friends
and relatives of the accused killers say they are well known athletes (FLASH) but have a
history of stealing bicycles.”
Friends of the family tell WCAU the incident has stunned
the tight-knit community.
“This town has pretty much been rocked to the core. It’s
horrible. I mean you have got kids now killing kids. I mean it’s awful.”
The Messenger-Gazette
reports the boys have been charged with ***, conspiracy to commit ***, disposing of
a body, and tampering with evidence and theft.
