Police report possible sightings of Connecticut homicide suspect as manhunt continues
HARTFORD, Conn. _ Police in Pennsylvania say they believe University of Connecticut senior Peter Manfredonia, wanted for two homicides in Connecticut, was spotted in Chambersburg, Pa., Tuesday morning and then used a rideshare service to continue onto Hagerstown, Md.
Pennsylvania state police released the information Wednesday afternoon, nearly 30 hours after the sighting occurred.
The man matching Manfredonia's description was seen at a Sheetz convenience store in Chambersburg, just off I-81 in southern Pennsylvania, at about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. A black Hyundai Santa Fe stolen from East Stroudsburg, Pa., near where Manfredonia was sited Sunday evening, was recovered near the Sheetz store.
Police said the person they believe could be Manfredonia then received a ride from an Uber driver to Hagerstown, about 24 miles south of Chambersburg.
Police said surveillance video and witness descriptions of the man match Manfredonia's description.
Police in Pennsylvania and Connecticut did not release any additional information about the manhunt Wednesday.
The manhunt for Manfredonia entered its sixth day Wednesday. The 23-year-old from Newtown was also seen Sunday evening in East Stroudsburg, about 40 miles southeast of Duryea, a borough between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
