York County Deputy Coroner Jeffri Goodfellow walks back to the crime scene after briefing family members around 8 p.m. Sunday night as Coroner Barry Bloss, Carroll Township patrol officer Ron Stiles and Chief Sean Kapfhammer confer in the front yard at 204 Chestnut Grove Road.
____A fugitive charged with the homicide of a Carroll Township woman was captured Monday night in Missouri around 8:45 p.m.
____Bryan Wayne Brackbill, Jr., 32, was wanted in connection with the death of Sandra “Sandy” Smith Mulder, 52, of 204 Chestnut Grove Road, Dillsburg.
____Mulder’s body was found laying facedown, legs and hands bound, on a bedroom floor of her home by family members on Sunday, June 2 at 12:20 p.m., police said.
____An autopsy performed Monday morning revealed “no conclusive evidence, so we’re pending the cause of the death,” York County Coroner Barry Bloss said Monday afternoon.
____Missouri State Highway Patrol was on a routine assignment using an automatic license plate reader on Interstate 70 in Boone County when a vehicle registered to Mulder, the victim, passed them. Troopers took pursuit of the Pontiac Grand Prix. Brackbill was able to elude the police for a short time when police lost sight of him. Police spotted the car again and initiated a traffic stop. Brackbill was taken into custody without incident.
Sandra Mulder, 52, died on Saturday, June 1 at her home, as the result of a homicide.

____Former Franklintown Borough secretary/treasurer Deborah Walker turned herself in on May 29 to face three charges involving the disappearance of over $120,000 from the borough’s accounts over a several year period. ____According to court documents, she’s been charged with theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception and receiving stolen property. She was arraigned the same day in front of District Judge Richard Thomas in Dillsburg. She is free on $50,000 unsecured bail and awaiting a preliminary hearing scheduled for July 15.
____The alleged theft took place from 2007- 2010, the years just before Walker retired in December of 2010. The funds showed up missing during a financial audit for the year 2007 that was done in late 2010. Walker covered the alleged thefts by not paying the borough’s bills including the federal employee taxes.
____Over a year ago, the funds that were allegedly stolen were reimbursed to the borough by the insurance company that bonded Walker, indicating that they believed she was responsible, but the York County’s District Attorney’s office just finished their investigation.
