Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania say they are charging a man in the strangulation death of a woman, who was found dead in a Lehigh County apartment known as a drug den.
Police said the 33-year-old Allentown man will face a homicide charge in Lehigh County in the death of 60-year-old Shirley Dileo, whose body was found over the Labor Day weekend.
Prosecutors said the victim was found after an unidentified person told police that there could be a body in the apartment.
Officials said the informant said multiple people were smoking crack in the apartment over the weekend but the suspect wasn't letting people enter the bathroom.
DiLeo's body was found in the unit's bathroom, and an autopsy concluded that she had been strangled.
