Missing woman found dead Body discovered in Spring Garden Thursday, March 11, 2004 By Jonathan D. Silver, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The life of a woman missing for six months ended in a reputed Spring Garden crack house only blocks from her home. Authorities yesterday used dental records to identify mummified remains hidden under bags of clothing in a basement on Spring Garden Avenue as Melissa Snodgrass. She was found with the decomposed remains of her mother's dog, which Snodgrass had taken for a walk to a convenience store on Sept. 7, the day she disappeared. The Allegheny County coroner's office said Snodgrass, who was 21 when she vanished, died from head injuries. Her death was ruled a homicide, pushing 2003's county homicide total to a record 122. Chief Deputy Coroner Joseph Dominick said based on the evidence at the scene, the time of Snodgrass's death was "consistent with" the time she went missing. Neither the coroner's office nor Pittsburgh police would speculate whether a weapon was used to kill Snodgrass, but Cmdr. Maurita Bryant said detectives believe she was slain inside 1004 Spring Garden Ave. Since the body was discovered just before 5 p.m. Tuesday by two people, one of whom was identified as the homeowner by Bryant, homicide detectives have sought out people who had lived at the house, which is currently vacant. "It appears that several different people at one time or another stayed in the house," Bryant said, adding that it was rumored to be a place where crack cocaine addicts went to get high. Bryant could not estimate how many people stayed there, but said police have interviewed several of them. Bryant also could not say whether they resided in the house with the homeowner's knowledge or permission. It was too early in the investigation yesterday for police to say why Snodgrass was slain or by how many attackers. Bryant said police have an eye on several people as possible suspects. On the day she was last seen, Snodgrass left the house where she lived with her mother in the 800 block of Peralta Street to go to a market on nearby Chestnut Street. She bought a few things and left. The next day, Snodgrass's mother, Charmaine Cefalo, called police. She told detectives that her daughter had been acting normally and did not seem out of sorts. During the next six months, detectives in the missing persons squad tried to find Snodgrass. Her family tacked up fliers in the neighborhood. Tips came in, but no sightings. They talked to men who were said to have dated Snodgrass. Police even checked with the city pound and animal shelters for the family's chihuahua/terrier mix named Baby. "Everything seemed odd about it," missing persons Sgt. Amanda Aldridge recalled. "She didn't take anything personal with her, except for the dog." Snodgrass did have her cell phone, but no one answered it after Sept. 7. Police were aware of suspicions that Snodgrass popped pills, Aldridge said. And there was a rumor -- never pinned down -- that either Snodgrass owed someone money, or she was holding money for someone else who was a debtor. Just a month after Snodgrass disappeared, police were called to the house where she was eventually found. On Oct. 10, an officer from the North Side station was dispatched to the home, Bryant said. She did not know the nature of the call. "The officer went on the scene, talked to somebody who identified himself as the owner of the house. They looked through the house," Bryant said. "In the officer's assessment, things checked out OK." Bryant declined to identify the officer. She did not know if the homeowner was the same person who discovered Snodgrass's body. www.post-gazette.com/pg/04071/284130.stm

A Pennsbury Village man missing since July 2 was found shot to death and buried in a shallow grave in Ohio Township Monday night.
Joseph Larkin, 31, was arrested early Tuesday morning after police uncovered the body of Chad Mulvin, his 29-year-old roommate. Police say Larkin led them to the alleged victim, who was buried under a layer of concrete near the back yard of the suspect's mother's home on Gary Drive.
According to Allegheny County police documents, Larkin and Mulvin had been drinking together at Jabby Joe's in Robinson Township, where one of Mulvin's co-workers was having a party. The men apparently had a disagreement at the bar that escalated when they got back to their apartment.
Mulvin started a fight in Larkin's bedroom when he came home, the suspect told police. Mulvin grabbed Larkin's rifle during the struggle and was shot in the chest when the gun went off, according to Larkin's statement.
Larkin is being held without bond in the county jail on a charge of homicide. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 26.

Pittsburgh police yesterday were asking for the public's help in locating two apparent kidnap victims who were forced into a car Sunday night in the city's Lincoln-Lemington section.
But it appeared that one of the victims had been found dead last night in Wilkinsburg.
James Jones, 26, of Wilkinsburg, and his girlfriend, Shawnte Betts, 17, of Beltzhoover, were abducted in the 500 block of Lincoln Avenue about 8:30 p.m. Sunday, police said.
Shortly afterward, Jones' family received a ransom demand from an anonymous caller, police Lt. Thomas Stangrecki said at a news conference yesterday at police headquarters on the North Side.
Last night around 7:45 p.m., however, police said they had found Betts's car, a cream-colored Toyota, with a man's body inside, on Marlboro Avenue in Wilkinsburg. The man had been shot several times and authorities feared it was Jones.
The body was a black male and "fits the general description and we're investigating to determine if it is Mr. Jones," said Pittsburgh police Lt. Kevin Kraus.
But there was no sign of Betts or the abductors.
"Our top priority, obviously, is to locate her," Kraus said.
Police believe Jones was the victim of a robbery that might have been drug-related. At some point, Betts arrived at the scene, but it was unclear why or when.
One of the robbers shot Jones in the leg and then fired at him several more times after he collapsed, possibly striking him in the back, Stangrecki said.
Jones and Betts were forced into her vehicle and driven away, Stangrecki said.
Betts' aunt, Ar'Tice Coleman, said Betts was at home on Sunday afternoon giving her mother a manicure when she received a phone call. Coleman said she isn't sure who phoned Betts.
At around 2:30 p.m., she said, Betts, a recent graduate of Oliver High School, left the house to visit Jones.
At around 8 p.m. Coleman said, Betts' grandmother called Betts on her cell phone to ask her if she could use her car. Coleman said Betts told her grandmother that she could, but Betts never came home.
"That's the last word we had from her," said Coleman.
She said family members didn't know much about Jones. "She had been dating him for about six months. We don't know his background or anything he was involved in."
Stangrecki has asked that anyone with information call 911 or the homicide squad at 412-323-7161.

Fifteen-year-old Nichole Reilly was friendly and seemingly well liked. There is no shortage of photos of her among the teenagers in her Kensington neighborhood. But all are at a loss as to who wanted the teen dead.
Yellitza Martinez/FAMILY FRIEND:
"She left my house around midnight, yeah it was around midnight when she left my house. She went walking with her best friend." "And everything seemed alright." "Yeah everything seemed fine." It would be the last time Yellitza Martinez saw 15-year-old Nichole Reilly alive. The friendly teen was murdered during a seemingly short time frame. Neighbors report seeing Reilly on her mother's front steps as late as three or four Tuesday morning. Just before noon her mother had filed a missing person's report. By five p.m., Jimmy Anderson was walking his dog and made the grisly discovery on an overgrown lot just a block from Reilly's home. Jimmy Anderson/FOUND VICTIM'S BODY:
"She went up the block and I kept calling her and she wouldn't come and I walked up there and that's when I saw the body there. It was shocking to see her in that condition. Somebody beat her up pretty bad." Detectives talked with residents and acquaintances, some at the scene some at headquarters in an attempt to pinpoint Reilly's final steps. Her mother collapsed before walking to the area and was whisked away in a patrol unit. While some friends thanked the man who had found Reilly, others stood at a vigil at the newly cleared crime scene. Still others spoke words far too cynical for one so young. Sabrina Fisher/VICTIM'S FRIEND:
"In Kensington I think nothing's never gonna change. Somebody's gonna be dead tomorrow. This just is how the neighborhood is." Some friends report domestic problems with a male acquaintance, who was according to neighbors was brought to police headquarters. But a police spokesman says at the time people were brought to headquarters it was to firm up the timeline and Nichole Reilly's final steps.

There is a resounding call for justice over the slaying of a 15-year-old Kensington girl. The victim's mother made an emotional plea.
Nicole Reilly was found dead yesterday afternoon just hours after she disappeared from her home.
She told a crowd of mourners at a vigil tonight that she wants her daughter's killer found. Police say it may be very well that she knew her killer. She was out with people she knew on the night she disappeared and right now all police can say with any certainty is that nobody has been ruled out.
Dawn Reilly/VICTIM'S MOTHER:
"She was a good kid and she was my baby." Dawn Reilly electrified the crowd when she managed to step out of her overwhelming grief to say a few words on behalf of her 15-year-old daughter Nicky. 150 friends, neighbors and others who had gathered for a prayer vigil at the weed infested lot where her body was found by a man walking his dog late Tuesday. Dawn Reilly:
"Somebody killed my baby right over there in that lot. And I just want to say I want the person found for I want them to pay for as much hurt and harm that they did to her." An autopsy shows that Nicky Reilly died of blunt force trauma and strangulation, wounds consistent with what may be a crime of passion. Police have questioned some of the people she was with on the night she disappeared, relatives, friends, boyfriends and ex-boyfriends. Police say as yet no suspects, but there are people of interest to the investigation. What they know is that she was out with people she knew around 3am Tuesday morning when she disappeared. All Reilly's mother knows is that she was a great kid. Dawn Reilly:
"Except for her coming in at 2 in the morning saying 'Mom, I'm hungry, I'm tired, Oh please mom, can you go down and make me something eat'..ha ha, that was Nicky you know." As police continued to collect evidence pointing to a killer, mourners raised candles at a makeshift memorial for Nicky and prayed for her soul. PASTOR DAN ROTH/SUMMERFIELD METHODIST CHURCH:
"For thine is the kingdom, the glory and the power forever and ever, amen." With the investigation continuing here at the homicide division, a funeral mass and Christian burial for Nicky Reilly is now set for Monday morning.

Thanks to a tip from a neighbor, firefighters found and rescued a missing Leet Township woman around 6am this moring.
Sophie Oriszco, 80, is under observation at Sewickley Hospital, but authorities say she appears to be in good condition after apparently spending the night outside on a hillside.
Police had been trying to find Oriszco, who suffers from dementia, after she wandered away from her home yesterday.
After recognizing the missing woman's picture on the news early this morning, a neighbor called 911 and told emergency dispatchers she saw the woman near her home late yesterday afternoon.
Emergency crews then found Oriszco nearby a short while later.

The search for a man with special needs in Indiana County came to an end today, and it was not the outcome the volunteers had hoped for.
The body of 40 year old Carmen Selfridge was found not far from where he first walked away from the Williams Personal Care Home in Glen Campbell.
Selfridge had Down Syndrome and visual problems, and rescuers knew he couldn't survive long on his own. Police say he was found under a tree in a heavily wooded area. They also say there were no signs of foul play and that Selfridge died from exposure to the elements.
More than 100 volunteers and several teams of search dogs assisted in the rescue effort.

A body found by hunters Tuesday in a wooded area of Donegal has been identified as a truck driver missing since a May 31 traffic accident on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The body of Parker Lawrence Kelly, 64, was found around 1:30 p.m. at the bottom of a 35-foot ravine near Tall Cedars Motel off Route 31, said Joseph Musgrove, a Westmoreland County deputy coroner.
The results of an autopsy performed yesterday were expected to be released today.
The coroner said no foul play was suspected.
Kelly maintained a Cambridge, Ohio, mailing address but lived out of his rig.
"It's quite possible he could have just slipped and fallen down and injured something that left him debilitated," Musgrove said.
Kelly and his wife were in their tractor-trailer en route to Allentown, Pa., when a tire blew, causing the rig to smash into a guard rail on the turnpike in Donegal.
The couple refused medical treatment, but their tractor-trailer had to be towed, so rescue workers took Kelly and his wife to the nearby Days Inn in Donegal Borough.
Kelly was last seen about 9 p.m. May 31 at the Tall Cedars restaurant, where witnesses said he appeared dazed. His wife reported him missing when he did not return from an errand.

The body of a boy has been found in Pennsylvania -- not far from the home of a 9-year-old who disappeared on Saturday. According to a state forestry official, the body was found on a forest road that is covered with leaves. It's about a mile and a-half from the home of missing Logan Mitcheltree. And state forestry bureau manager Jeffrey Prowant says he's "fairly certain" that it's the body of the missing boy. The boy was last seen Saturday afternoon. Since then, there have been extremely cold temperatures -- and officials were hoping that Logan might have found shelter somewhere. He hadn't been wearing a jacket when he was last seen. The boy's mother told officials that he was hyperactive and had the mental state of a three-year-old. Authorities on Sunday had described him as autistic. edition.cnn.com/2004/US/12/21/missing.boy.ap/

Charges could be filed against a man suspected of raping, mutilating and burning a Yeadon teenager. Thursday, a witness led police to the 100 block of North 63rd Street in West Philadelphia. That's where they found a 55-gallon drum containing the remains of whom they believe is Deanna Wright McIntosh. The 15-year-old disappeared on December 3rd, after an argument with her mother.
Thursday night, another tip led police to search a home on Linden Avenue in Lansdowne where they believe the crime took place. Police call it the most horrific murder they've ever seen in Lansdowne.
A witness has implicated a man in McIntosh's murder. That man is already in police custody on drug and grand theft auto charges. Police are still waiting for conclusive DNA results, to officially confirm that the remains are of McIntosh.

A body found Thursday afternoon in an overgrown drainage ditch behind a Perry Avenue home may be that of a 21-year-old man who has been missing since mid-September.
Washington Township Police Detective Tom O'Barto said the clothing and other factors have led police to believe that it is the body of Jesse Marish. O'Barto said he is treating the death as suspicious, particularly because of where police recovered the remains. Forensic pathologists in Pittsburgh are expected to perform an autopsy today to determine the cause of death.
"Right now, I don't know how he died, and I don't know how he got where we found him," O'Barto said. "We're not ruling out foul play."
Marish has been missing since Sept. 17, when O'Barto said he was in a 3 a.m. car accident in front of the 305 Perry Ave. home where the remains were found. Police said that when they responded to the accident, Marish fled in the opposite direction of where the body was discovered, toward his father's home about half a mile away.
Before Marish fled, O'Barto said he told a witness that he was OK, and that the witness told police that he appeared unscathed after hitting a telephone pole and then a tree. Marish, O'Barto said, started throwing items back into the car, and took the license plate off the vehicle.
O'Barto said the license plate was found crumpled, shoved up the right pants leg of the body.
When a police officer returned to the scene of the accident the next day, he found only a small bottle that O'Barto said he believes is methamphetamine. Several days later, Marish's mother, Valerie, called police to report him missing.
Valerie Marish said she worried when her son, who kept in close contact with her, did not phone for several days. She said she called hospitals, jails and any other place her son might be. Valerie Marish also posted flyers around town that included her son's photo and her telephone number to call with any information. Marish, said his mother, was coming from an Arnold City bar at the time of the accident.
"I knew that there was something wrong," she said.
She funneled anything she heard to police, but remained frustrated at the pace of the investigation.
One of those tips was that Marish made a call from his father's home around 4:45 a.m. the night of the accident. O'Barto said that if that call was made, he has to figure out what happened afterwards to bring Marish back out, near the accident scene.
O'Barto said police intend to try and track down that friend, although police do not believe the friend answered Marish's call.
About one week after Marish was initially reported missing by his mother, O'Barto said that police and the township's volunteer fire department searched the area, but found nothing. A third search was conducted another week after the initial report, O'Barto said.
Valerie Marish said her family also searched en force.
Knowing now where the body was recovered, O'Barto said that searchers were "as close as 100 yards" from the body.
But given the overgrown nature of the ditch, O'Barto said it was unlikely that anyone would have just seen the body.
"(The body) would not have been visible from any roadways. You'd almost have to step on it to see it. That's what happened in this case - the guy who found the body almost actually stepped on him," O'Barto said.
Marish's body was covered by leaves and branches and there were heavily overgrown, jagged bushes. A relative of the woman who lived at the Perry Avenue home was in the ditch when he found the body around 1:30 p.m.
Valerie Marish cried as she watched police pull the body from the area around 4:20 p.m.
"I have mixed feelings, I just need closure," Marish said. "I don't know how people do it who have missing family members (that have not been found)."
Deputy coroner Elsie Dvorchak made the official pronouncement of death around 4 p.m. and the state police forensic services unit was able to get the body out of the brush around 4:20 p.m. She said authorities will use dental records to confirm the body is Marish's.
Obviously distraught, her eyes filled with tears, Valerie Marish said all she can do now is wait, and wonder.
"I just want to know what happened to my child," she said.

DNA tests confirmed that charred remains found in a rusted steel drum in West Philadelphia were those of a teenager missing for more than four weeks from her home in suburban Yeadon, prosecutors said Saturday. The remains were identified as those of Deanna Wright McIntosh, 15, a Penn Wood High School sophomore missing since Dec. 3, Delaware County District Attorney G. Michael Green’s office said in a news release. The girl’s death was ruled a homicide by Dr. Ian Hood, Philadelphia medical examiner, Green’s office said. The teenager, daughter of retired FBI Agent Jim McIntosh, was last seen with a friend at a nail salon near her home in Yeadon. The remains were found Dec. 30 in a 55-gallon drum on a remote lot in West Philadelphia. Police said they had questioned a man who tipped off investigators about the location of the remains. Assistant District Attorney James Halligan declined to comment Saturday on whether anyone was being charged, but said Green would hold a news conference about the investigation on Tuesday. The girl’s family does not have a listed telephone number and could not be reached for comment Saturday. kyw.com/Local%20News/local_story_002001502.html

The body of a missing autistic 9-year-old boy, who had wandered away the day before a cold snap, was found Tuesday morning near a mountain road about 1 1/2 miles from his home, authorities said.
Logan Mitcheltree was last seen Saturday afternoon. His siblings told police he had been watching TV with them before he disappeared and was not wearing a jacket.
A state forester discovered Logan's body in the Tiadaghton State Forest, about 65 miles north of Harrisburg, officials said. No foul play was suspected, although the death was still under investigation, authorities said.
Lycoming County Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr. said the boy had probably been dead more than 36 hours by the time he was found. An autopsy was scheduled Wednesday.
The weather had turned sharply colder Sunday, with temperatures dipping to 10 below zero in parts of the state.
"As the hours went on, and the temperature went down, we knew the chances were slimmer and slimmer," South Williamsport Mayor William Miller said.
After Logan's disappearance, searchers combed a three-square-mile area around his home using dogs, small planes and helicopters. Fliers were distributed bearing his photograph and a sign company donated billboard space. Authorities said the body was located on the search area's fringes.
Children with autism may not understand the consequences of their actions, like going out in the cold without warm clothing, said Deb Knapp, director of special education for South Williamsport schools.
An aunt said Logan had limited ability to speak and communicated in part through sign language.

The body of a Pottsville man missing since last month was found Tuesday afternoon in the yard of a North Manheim Township home.
The body of William Dombrosky, 22, of 400 W. Norwegian St., was discovered at about 2:30 p.m. to the rear of the home of Robert Billman and his family at 250 Main St., according to Cpl. Joseph Lipsett, head of the crime unit at the state police barracks at Schuylkill Haven.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Richard P. Bindie determined Dombrosky had been dead for about five days, and that his death was probably due to hypothermia or exposure to the cold, Lipsett said.
He said an autopsy will be done at Pottsville Hospital to see if any drugs or other toxins were present, or if any other injuries could have contributed to Dombrosky’s death.
Lipsett said a resident of the home found the body. Dombrosky was pronounced dead at the scene by Schuylkill County Deputy Coroner Paul Vuksta, Minersville, who removed the body at about 5:45 p.m. Lipsett said Dombrosky was last seen Jan. 26 or 27 in the area of the Calvary Cemetery at Main Street and Calvary Road, just outside the Mount Carbon borough line. The Main Street home where the man’s body was discovered is only a few feet from the entrance to the cemetery.
Lipsett said Dombrosky was at the cemetery, apparently visiting his father’s grave and, for some reason, had been upset.
“We know that he had been distraught, but over what exactly we don’t know,” he said.
Shortly after Dombrosky was reported missing, a search of the area in and around the cemetery was conducted, but yielded no clues as to his whereabouts, Lipsett said. Dombrosky’s footprints were followed in the grass and snow by searchers, but ended when they reached Calvary Road, which separates the cemetery and the Billman home, he said.
Lipsett said investigators theorize that Dombrosky was living behind Billman’s shed since about Thursday. The man’s body was found undressed, with several articles of clothing discovered around the shed. The corporal credited the fact that Dombrosky was not clothed to “paradoxical undressing.”<br> Explaining the term, Lipsett said that when a person’s body temperature drops to a certain level, they get a feeling of being warm or even hot. For this reason, the person affected begins to undress in order to “cool down,” despite the fact that they are freezing.

A Honey Brook man missing for two weeks was found dead Wednesday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said, not far from where his car was found abandoned.
The body of Christopher Wayne Horton, 28, was discovered at 4:40 p.m. in the area surrounding an abandoned strip mine off Red Brush Road in Butler County.
Horton’s black Hyundai Elantra was found near the strip mine Monday. Cherry Township neighbors reported seeing the car parked along Red Brush Road for at least a week.
Horton’s mother, Nancy, sobbed as she answered the phone at her Honey Brook home shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday.
"This is not a good time (to talk)," she said. "We found out he’s dead."
Horton’s brother, David, declined comment.
A preliminary search by helicopter, search dog and members of state police and the West Sunbury Volunteer Fire Department failed to find Horton. Based on interviews Wednesday with friends and relatives, a second search was conducted, according to state police.
Horton had last been seen at 7:10 a.m. Feb. 22 in a convenience store near his house on the 700 block of White School Road. He failed to show up for work at Jefco Utilities, where he was a heavy-equipment operator. He also missed a dinner appointment with a friend later that evening. Police have been investigating his disappearance since Horton’s family reported him missing Feb. 24.
David Horton was still holding out hope Wednesday afternoon that his brother was still alive. "I just hope he’s hiding out somewhere."
David Horton, of North Carolina, said his brother’s disappearance was "totally out of character." He said his brother did not, as far as he knew, abuse drugs or alcohol and had never gone missing before. David Horton was also at a loss to explain why his brother’s car was found in Butler County, where he apparently had no acquaintances.
David and a third sibling, Scott, spent the past three days joining police searching the woods in the surrounding area of the strip mine. The brothers had expected Christopher Horton to move to North Carolina at the end of March to join them in a home construction business.
David Horton said he examined his brother’s car Monday, but didn’t notice anything unusual. A few soft drink bottles and tobacco pouches were in the vehicle, nothing that led him to believe his brother was in danger.
Last week, David and Scott Horton spent several days at Christopher’s house, where the only item missing was Christopher Horton’s 12-gauge shotgun, given to him by his father. David Horton said he didn’t know whether his brother still owned the gun or had sold it.
Christopher Horton was last seen at Hartz Levan Grocery and Deli Feb. 22, where he bought coffee and chewing tobacco. Surveillance footage of the deli’s parking lot showed Horton drove his white, company-issued pickup truck to the deli. He apparently went home after leaving the deli to switch vehicles.
State police found Horton’s cell phone, checkbook and keys locked in the white pickup truck Feb. 24. The Elantra was gone, but police found no evidence to suggest Horton met with foul play.
