An Amish man from Kentucky, identified as Samuel Hochstetler, has been charged with the murder of 28-year-old Rosanna Kinsinger in an Ohio Amish community, according to a Cleveland19 report. The Meigs County Sheriff's Office deemed Kinsinger's death suspicious after her body was discovered on March 13 alongside her goat in her home.
Upon finding Kinsinger deceased, community member Mose Troyer contacted authorities, as recounted in an interview with WSAZ. After a thorough investigation, involving numerous interviews and search warrants, Hochstetler emerged as a person of interest and was subsequently arrested and charged on Monday. Initially inconclusive, the preliminary autopsy results leave more questions than answers regarding the circumstances of Kinsinger's death, shared by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.
Adding to the complexity of the matter, Local12 reports that authorities noted the cause of death as suspicious. Reflecting on the case, Sheriff Fitch expressed, "This case was such a tragedy to those who knew Rosanna. She was a beloved individual in her community," underlining the profound impact of the event on the local Amish community.
Moving through the legal proceedings, Hochstetler, 18, was arraigned on one count of murder related to the March 12 incident, as detailed by WOWKTV. Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley provided information on the case's progress, with Hochstetler's preliminary hearing set for May 13, and a bond set at $1,000,000 by Judge Michael Barr. As the community reels from the loss of Kinsinger, the ongoing investigation seeks to unravel the events that led to her untimely demise.
