Jealousy Behind Murders of Dad, Son: Police

Investigators say jealousy might be behind the slayings of a father and son in their northeastern Pennsylvania home.
 
Police on Wednesday discovered the bodies of 73-year-old Ronald Evans and 43-year-old Jeffrey Evans at their residence in Hunlock Township, Luzerne County. Investigators believe the father and son were shot to death on Monday night.

Authorities say 31-year-old James Roache and 39-year-old Holly Ann Crawford are being held without bail on criminal homicide charges.
 
Court records indicate the couple's relationship was rocky and Roache was jealous of Crawford's previous relationship with the elder Evans, known to friends as "Barney."

A preliminary hearing is set for May 7.
 
Crawford made headlines several years ago when she was convicted of animal cruelty for marketing "gothic" kittens with pierced ears and bobbed tails.
