The Murder of Barbara Weaver

On the morning of June 2nd, 2009, a woman living in Wayne County, OH received a knock on her door. It was a boy who lived in the house next door, claiming that he couldn’t wake his mother up. As the woman went to check on her neighbor, she discovered that she wasn’t breathing. Because they lived in an Amish Community, the woman had to call 911 from the community's phone, but by the time authorities arrived, the unconscious woman could not be helped. This is the murder of Barbara Weaver.
