WAYNE COUNTY, Pa. — Investigators now say remains found at a property in Wayne County belong to a Monroe County man who disappeared more than a decade ago.
The coroner has identified the remains found earlier this week near Newfoundland as Stephen Lepore.
Officials say he was shot in the head; his death has been ruled a homicide.
Lepore was last seen in August of 2012.
According to court papers, a former associate of Brian Hewson told police Hewson cut a deal with him to kill Lepore.
Earlier this week, Hewson told investigators where Lepore's remains could be found at a family member's property in Dreher Township.
So far, no arrests have been made.
