Arrest Made In Murder Of Pregnant Amish Woman

SPARTANSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man was arrested Saturday and charged in the slaying of a pregnant Amish woman whose body was found last week. Pennsylvania State Police say 52-year-old Shawn C. Cranston of Corry has been charged with criminal homicide, criminal homicide of an unborn child, burglary and criminal trespass. He was denied bail at a preliminary arraignment early Saturday morning and is being held at the Crawford County jail. Online court records don’t list a defense attorney. Cranston’s arrest comes less than a week after authorities found the body of 23-year-old Rebekah A. Byler in the living room of her home a few miles from Spartansburg in northwestern Pennsylvania.
