(WJET/WFXP) — Two days after an Amish woman was found dead in her home, the search for a murder suspect continues.

The crime is sending shockwaves through the community, and as of Wednesday, there are still more questions than answers.

Authorities found 23-year-old Rebekah Byler dead inside her home on Fish Flats Road in Crawford County on Feb. 26. State police stated this death is being investigated as a homicide.

On Feb. 28, the Crawford County Coroner said the autopsy is complete, but the results are not being released.

As the investigation continues, members of law enforcement urge the Spartansburg community to report any suspicious activity.

“Keep being vigilant this is a criminal homicide investigation, practice safe procedures keep your doors locked report any suspicious behavior, persons, or vehicles whether it was passed or current,” said Trooper Cynthia Schick.

State police added there is growing interest in this murder investigation as network news outlets have started covering the case.

“The national attention is picking up as you said you compared it to the Burham case, so this is obviously impacting more than just the community here within itself and has reached out further so we’re also asking them as well to relay the same message to everyone. We want them to stay vigilant if somebody knows something we want them to call it in,” said Tpr. Schick.

Anyone with information is asked to contact state police at 814-663-2043.
