Suspect Arrested in 2006 Shotgun Slaying of Lawyer and His Wife
After attorney David Burke Keeffe and his wife, Carol, were murdered at their Pennsylvania home in 2006, the DeSisti and Keeffe law firm, where Keeffe practiced with his father-in-law, offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in their shotgun slayings.
Now it appears that the culprit may have been found: A cousin of Carol Keeffe, John DeSisti, 73, of New York has been arrested and charged with the two murders, according to WNEP-TV and the Towanda Daily Review.
Authorities investigating the Bradford County case said the couple, who were ambushed when they came home after an outing, were involved in a property dispute with DeSisti.
The articles don’t include any comment from DeSisti or his counsel.
Keeffe was the president of the Bradford County Bar Association.
