GUILTY PA - Audrey Giannotti, 20, murdered in her Laureldale home, 13 Jan 2007

LE interviewed this guy in the early days of the investigation. Why in the world did it take them until October 2010 to retrieve his gun and send it, along with the spent slug for testing? I don't understand it. He told them early on that he owned a gun and that it was "at his mother's house". Seems LE might have dropped the ball on this one. Glad he's finally been arrested and that all of the unanswered questions are resolved.
 
Wow, it took all that time to get the gun to have it tested?

Cory Lee Vankeuren claimed he shouldn't have been convicted of first-degree murder for shooting a Berks County woman who wouldn't have sex with him. He insisted that he was far too high on cocaine to have formed a specific intent to kill.

The state Superior Court rejected Vankeuren's argument, however, and denied his appeal of his conviction and life prison sentence for the January 2007 slaying of 20-year-old Audrey Giannotti, a mother of two.

Investigators said Vankeuren, 38, of Emmaus, killed Giannotti in the basement of a friend's home where he was staying in Laureldale. He shot her in the head after she rebuffed his sexual advances — he showed up in her room uninvited and naked — and had called him names, court filings show.
