Police say it was Carol Ashcom, 30, who was found dead in home on Virginia Avenue in Lower Yoder Township.

Cambria County Chief Deputy Coroner says Ashcom was found shortly after 11 a.m. Wednesday by her ex-husband. Ashcom was last seen Tuesday around 5 p.m. The coroner says the cause of death is several gunshot wounds to her upper body...

Police say they have not found any signs of forced entry. Police say as far as they know, nothing was taken from the home. The victim was said to be at her home with her seven-year-old son at the time of the homicide. The child is now safe with other family members.

Found by ex.
Young son left motherless.
Haven't we seen this story before?
Sorry, presumptuous, I know.
 
Police, DA seek clues after woman, 30, found shot in home - SunGazette.com | News, Sports, Jobs, Community Information - Williamsport-Sun Gazette http://shar.es/1fetw3
 
From Rosie_Lee's link: Police don't believe robbery was a motive. Neighbors have told authorities and Johnstown-area media outlets that people visited the woman's home at odd hours.

The child was in the home at the time, probably not the ex-husband IMO with all the other people visiting...
Per the link: only ONE of her TWO children were home - we don't know which child is the ex's, if any IMO
 
What did she do to support herself financially?

It's the ex's 7 yr old son:

Police say they were called to her Virginia Avenue home just after 11 Wednesday morning for the report of an assault that call made by her child's father who had stopped to see him and say goodbye before he left with Ashcom on a trip to Florida.

LE says they don't think the public is at risk but they need help, it is unclear what the child may have seen.


West Hills Regional police say one of the woman's two children, a 7-year-old boy, was home when she was killed. Her body was discovered by her ex-husband.

Doesn't look well planned. Someone wanted her dead - so what is the motive? Any pending legal proceeding?, someone mad at her,
 
Documents show money withdrawn from Carol Ashcom’s bank account day she was killed - WJAC WJACTV.com - Top Stories: http://www.wjactv.com/news/features...ay-she-killed-5479.shtml#.VQtb1dchc58.twitter
Interesting that she had an argument in the bank with the male she intended on allowing authorization/access to her bank account. I wonder if the banks surveillance has audio to go along with the video?

The fact that he withdraw $2700.00, on the very day she is found deceased is very suspicious., especially since he was allegedly suppose to spend the night with her.
 
I think we'll be hearing about an arrest shortly....
 
I'm troubled by the comments that people were visiting the home at odd hours. Were these people of both sexes or just males? I'm thinking drugs or prostitution.
 
:bump: googled for new info - nothing found...
 
We all know that mainstream media cannot be blindly trusted to get things right, but, if they were dependable, we could probably divine who the guilty person is, just from reading the articles. And we do know that LE justifiably lies about some things. :)

Are we all on the same page at this point in time?

JMO, and I am frequently wrong!

Wondering where her other son lives, or where he spent the night.

Her 7 y/o is precious! So sad.

Going back to her FB to take a better look, maybe both of her sons are pictured there.
 
how can mysterious bank man not be a suspect or POI in this case as stated in this article? http://www.wjactv.com/news/features...ay-she-killed-5479.shtml#.VQtb1dchc58.twitter

Agree, wonder if they are trying to track him down.. might cost a bit to do so since appears he took off..


police have learned Ashcom and that man got into a disagreement in the bank that was seen by bank employees

... snipped by me ...

First time I've ever replied to myself .. But, I need to say, my first thoughts were based upon the way I read a sentence in one of the articles, and that basically colored my opinion. After reading it again, I'm not so sure that I read it correctly, and now have no firm opinion at all. Sorry.

:blushing:

Oh, well .....
