A tragic incident unfolded in Pike County, Pennsylvania, as 32-year-old Colin J. Winkler allegedly stabbed and killed his parents, Jacqueline and Jeffrey Winkler, with a kitchen knife at their Dingman Township home. The Pennsylvania State Police responded to a report of a domestic disturbance and arrived to find the bodies of the victims in the kitchen, while Colin was discovered naked on the back deck covered in blood.
Shane Winkler, Colin’s brother, called 911 after Jacqueline had warned him that Colin was experiencing a psychotic break. Shane mentioned that Colin had been displaying manic behavior and had a history of childhood sexual abuse, although he had been seeing a therapist. Pike County District Attorney Ray Tonkin expressed shock at the double homicide, stating that it was a rare occurrence in the area.
Colin Winkler was charged with two counts of criminal homicide and two counts of aggravated assault. He was denied bail and remains in custody. The community is left in shock and mourning as they try to make sense of this tragic event. The investigation is ongoing, as authorities work to uncover the motive behind the brutal crime. The friends and family of the victims are left to grapple with the loss of Jacqueline and Jeffrey Winkler, who were taken too soon in such a senseless act of violence.
