Bodies of elderly mother and son found bound in the basement of house | Daily Mail Online
Police in Pennsylvania say they believe a home was deliberately set on fire in an attempt to cover up the deaths of an elderly woman and her son whose bodies were found tied up in the basement.
Roger Houck, 59, and his mother Virginia Houck, 97, were found dead on January 4 inside the woman's home in Palmer Township.
Roger had been bound at his feet and died as a result of 'homicidal violence.'
Virginia, meanwhile, who was under hospice care and bedridden, had binding around her head and died from smoke inhalation and burns.
The bodies were so badly burned, they needed to be identified by dental records.
Mystery still surrounds the case and authorities said they did not want to release too much information for fear of hindering the investigation.
Police have said that they believe it was not a random act and that the mother and son may have been targeted.
