Possible Murder Motive Revealed
State police say a Tionesta woman charged with plotting her estranged husband's murder wanted it to look like a hunting accident.
State police say they were called after 39-year-old Shawn Yeager's 12- and 15-year-old sons found him shot on the rear deck of his home in Warren County.
A preliminary hearing is set Dec. 16 for 33-year-old Susan Yeager and her brother, 28-year-old Cory Altman. Police say Altman shot Shawn Yeager with a hunting rifle then joked to a friend that he "got his buck for the year."
Twenty-six-year-old Robert Pessia is also charged in the plot.
Police say Susan Yeager hatched the plot because she was upset about not having the access to her children she thought she should have.
During a news conference, Warren County District Attorney Ross McKeirnan said, "This was an incredibly cold-hearted murder scheme, hatched by three very stupid people,"
