The search for a missing Armstrong County man has come to a tragic conclusion as state authorities located his body in Jefferson County. Reports confirmed that David Kimberly, 56, who vanished in September, was found deceased and a suspect is now in custody facing charges.
Kimberly's wife reported him missing on September 28 after he left their previously shared residence on Reefer Hollow Road, carrying some of his belongings in his van. This occurred after his wife expressed her desire for a divorce on Sept. 23. Pennsylvania State Police, according to WPXI, discovered Kimberly's van concealed in a wooded area near his home on Saturday.
Advancements in the investigation led authorities to Cody Weiland, 33, who reportedly admitted to shooting Kimberly at a property along Reefer Hollow Road. Weiland, according to the state police, said he then transported the body to a secluded location within Jefferson County, where it was eventually discovered. WTAE detailed that no motive had been released at their reporting time.
Weiland, now facing a series of charges, including Murder in the 1st Degree, Criminal Homicide, and Abuse of a Corpse, is being held at the Armstrong County Jail awaiting arraignment. His alleged confession to the killing and subsequent concealment of Kimberly's van further complicates a case that has captured local attention since the initial disappearance.
The incident is still under investigation, and more details will be released as it develops.
