Rachael DelTondo was coming home from getting ice cream with a friend when she was shot multiple times while standing in the driveway of her mother's home.

DelTondo, a school teacher, had been suspended during an investigation into her relationship with an underage student.

No motive has been established, and no arrests have been made.

OMG. Shot 10 times. According to article in people's magazine.
 
But the engagement was broken off, and months later, she was the victim of confidential information leaked from the Aliquippa Police concerning her and a former student.

That information lead to a suspension from her teaching job at Pa. Cyber.

But sources say it also prompted a state police investigation of the Aliquippa Police, and that DelTondo cooperated. It’s not clear, what, if any, this turn of events has to do with her murder.

According to a local paper, the Beaver Countian, she had been working with an investigative journalist to uncover corruption in the local police department. The Alquippa PD was under investigation by the state police.

Rachael DelTondo had informed the Beaver Countian about multiple death threats she had received, including one promising she would not live to see the end of 2018. DelTondo told the Beaver Countian she had reported the death threats to authorities.

Perhaps LE is looking at her cell phone to see who had called to threaten her in the past.

Allegations involving corruption in Beaver County are currently the subject of inquiry by the Pennsylvania Statewide Investigating Grand Jury. The Aliquippa Municipal Building was raided by investigators with the Pennsylvania State Police back in March, after a second confidential source for the Beaver Countian began informing state authorities about other alleged improprieties involving City officials. That source voluntarily revealed to investigators they had been informing this publication’s reporting.
 
The ex fiancé seems like he has ties with the police department. Interesting. Can someone alert this post in case it’s against TOS? I’m on tapatalk so I can’t alert my own posts.

Eta - the ex’s name was made public in an article regarding the situation where Rachael was in the car with a minor, I didn’t go out of my way to find out who he is.
 
The way this reads leads me to believe there is a suspect. IMO

>>snip

Investigators said they believe DelTondo knew the shooter and evidence showed her murder was “a crime of passion,” the report stated. Police, however, haven’t identified or released details of the suspect. Lozier also wouldn’t reveal details about the suspect.

An Aliquippa police sergeant was placed on paid administrative leave a day after a 33-year-old woman was killed because he and his family were her close friends, Aliquippa police Chief Donald A. Couch Jr. said Wednesday.

Sgt. Kenneth Watkins’ daughter spent several hours with Rachael DelTondo Sunday evening — at one point stopping for ice cream — before Ms. DelTondo was shot to death in her parents’ driveway in the 2100 block of Buchanan Street around 10:45 p.m., the chief said.

Wonder if this is the officer who found her in the car with the minor.
