On Jan 25, 2023 at approximately 11:15 am the death of 3 family members was reported. It was said to be a murder-suicide from the West Manchester township area. The incident took place on the 2000 block of Loman Avenue. The following victims were identified as, 62-year-old James Daub, 59-year-old Deborah Daub, and 26-year-old Morgan Daub. James Daub and Debrah Daub were the parents of Morgan Daub. They were shot and killed in the backyard of their home in West Manchester, PA.

All three members died from gunshot wounds to the head. 62-year-old James Daub and 59-year-old Deborah Daub were reported as homicides. 26-year-old Morgan Daub was reported as a suicide. After finding evidence at the scene and talking to some of the family members it was found to be a pre-prepared death. It was said that the three family members had a deal to die together. So 26-year-old Morgan murdered both of her parents and then committed suicide.

Detectives found pages of written notes inside the home. “It appears from the writing left behind by the mother that was fairly detailed, that her daughter was suffering from auditory hallucinations and it was getting worse and she felt she couldn’t live like that any longer,” said Detective Fink. Deborah Daub, Morgan’s mother then chose to also take her life so she didn’t have to live without her daughter and convinced her husband to do the same.
