COLEGROVE HOMICIDE
Daily Review August 11, 2007
TOWANDA -- Walt Sweeney admits to being on edge after the triple homicide
that occurred just down the road from him in Tuscarora Township this week.
"I never had to lock my doors before, but I lock them now," he said.
"It's got everyone a little unnerved." Joseph Colegrove, 60; his wife,
Marlene, 56; and son Michael, 36, were found in their Tuscarora Township
home on Kirk Road Wednesday afternoon, shot in the head with a shotgun.
During a news conference at the Bradford County Courthouse in Towanda Friday,
a state police official addressed concerns like the one Sweeney is feeling.
Assistant District Attorney Al Ondrey and Sgt. Lou Altieri with state police
at Towanda also attended. As people, including Laceyville firemen, crowded
in the doorways of the commissioners' meeting room, Lt. Frank Hacken, crime
section coordinator for the state police barracks in Wyoming, said that
he doesn't believe the killings were a random act. Rather, the killer or
killers acted specifically in murdering the Colegroves. He said the crime
scene indicates this, but he declined to elaborate. "I don't believe we
have a random killer or killers," he said, speaking in front of a gaggle
of reporters' microphones on a table in front of him. "There is a killer
that is not in custody right now, but I do not a see a random act here."
Hacken added, "I don't believe there is someone going around that we have
to worry that there is going to be another murder right now." He also said
that the killings are being investigated as "unrelated" to the murders
of David and Carol Keeffe, who were killed in their home on Sayre Hill
on Nov. 17, 2006. In addition, he also said authorities are looking for
a pickup truck that was seen around the area of Mark's Valley View Restaurant
in the early morning hours Wednesday. Police believe the murders occurred
in the early morning hours that day. "We are looking possibly for a pickup
truck that was seen in the area in the early morning hours," Hacken said.
"I cannot state that that pickup truck was related..." He didn't provide
any other descriptive details about the truck. He said they're also looking
for people with information about the truck. He said those with information
about the case should talk to police. "It's a tragic event, and I feel
sorry for the family," Hacken said. "It's important that people cooperate
with us; do not assume that we know everything. You have to contact us,
you have to talk to us." "We need as much information as possible."
He said all information is important. He noted the family is cooperating
with police. And he said none of the family's children was a suspect. "The
children are cooperating with us, the family is cooperating with us, and
we're very happy with that," he said. Regarding the details of the case,
he said it's believed the victims were killed between midnight and 6 a.m.
in the "early morning hours" of Wednesday. Police have said the bodies
were discovered by a woman who went to the home late Wednesday afternoon
to check on the Colegroves. He wouldn't comment on suspects or on anything
regarding the crime scene investigation. He couldn't comment as to whether
someone broke into the home or if a weapon was found. But Hacken said he
was pleased with the processing of evidence. "We're very well focused on
physical evidence right now," he said. And he said discovering as much
about the victims as possible is important. Hacken verified that the victims
were shot in the "head/face region" and all were found on the second floor
of the residence. He said they were found in "different rooms," but didn't
elaborate. He also said he didn't believe it was a homicide/suicide. "I
am very comfortable it's not a murder/suicide," he said. Hacken said the
investigation is currently focused in Bradford County. Investigators are
interviewing people. He added that the State Police Task Force is at work.
The Wyoming, Tunkhannock and Towanda barracks are involved in the investigation.
"We have a philosophy, we try to put as much resources into an investigation
right up front. The first few days are very critical for us." Autopsies
were scheduled for Friday at the Lehigh Valley Medical Center in Allentown.

Noon update: Homicide victims were well known in Laceyville
By JAMES LOEWENSTEIN
08/09/2007 Daily Review
LACEYVILLE -- Three Bradford County residents were found slain in their
home Wednesday afternoon, state police reported this morning. The
homicide victims were identified as Joseph Colegrove, 60, Marlene Colegrove,
56, and Michael Colegrove, 36, all of Tuscarora Township, state police
said. Joseph Colegrove, a barber and former chief of the Good Will
Fire Company, was a longtime fixture in Laceyville, as was his wife, Marlene,
a member of the fire company's ladies auxiliary and a Wyalusing school
bus driver. Michael was identified as one of three sons. Michael Colegrove,
who lived with his parents, and his father, had been named "firefighter
of the year" in past years. Scott Fisher, the current fire chief,
this morning told The Review that the Colegrove barber shop was a "traditional"
shop where "people go to socialize." The Associated Press reported
that Joe Colegrove spent 40 years with the Goodwill Fire Company, including
13 years as chief. His barbershop is across the street from the fire hall.
Marlene Colegrove drove a Wyalusing Area School District bus for about
two decades, the AP reported. "You couldn't ask for a better family,"
Chief Fisher told the AP. "They've done a ton for the community." He also
said Michael Colegrove had been active in the fire company when he was
younger, and more recently had suffered from health problems. "Everybody
knows everybody," Fisher said. "It's a tough thing right now on the town.
Not just the department, the whole town." State police said they were called
to the Colegrove residence on Kirk Road in Tuscarora Township at 5:15 p.m.
on Wednesday. At the residence were the three victims of criminal homicide,
state police from Towanda said. Al Ondrey, Bradford County assistant district

the residence is located in a rural area on a road up and behind the Valley
View inn and restaurant, a familiar site along U.S. 6., between Wyalusing
