Amish Man Charged With Murder Of Woman After Disturbing Sex Claim
An Amish man who reportedly told police he put a blanket over a neighbor's head while they had sex and realized afterward she had died has been charged with murder, officials announced Tuesday in a press release. Samuel Hochstetler was interviewed at the Meigs County Sheriff's Office on Monday, nearly two months after his roommate, Mose Troyer, said he found the body of their neighbor Rosanna Kinsinger, 28, inside her Rutland, Ohio, home in their Amish community. 'This case was such a tragedy to those who knew Rosanna. She was a beloved individual in her community,' Sheriff Scott Fitch said in a statement in the press release. 'Detectives have worked around the clock searching for answers and were able to get those answers. Hopefully this investigation helps bring some closure to the victim's family and on behalf of the Sheriff's Office we offer our deepest condolences.' According to a criminal complaint obtained by Too Fab, Hochstetler told deputies that 'he did have sexual intercourse with Rosanna Kinsinger and put a blanket over her head during and when he was finished, he rolled her over and realized she was not alive.' Kinsinger's death was deemed suspicious from the start, although preliminary autopsy results were inconclusive, the sheriff's office wrote on Tuesday. Hochstetler eventually emerged as a person of interest in the case, according to the news release. After not seeing his neighbor all day, Troyer discovered Kinsinger dead on March 13 with her goat inside the house, and called authorities. He told WSAZ it was disturbing that he had been living with Hochstetler for weeks after the alleged crime. They had been roommates for only a matter of months.

Amish man's stunned mugshot as he's charged with murder that shocked notoriously private community
An Amish man appeared shocked after he was arrested for a murder that rocked his notoriously seclusive community. Samuel Hochstetler, 18, originally from Kentucky, appeared in a mugshot after being detained on Monday for murder in the suspicious death of 28-year-old Rosanna Kinsinger, of Pomperoy, Ohio, the Scioto Post reports. Hochstetler has since been arraigned and was given a $1 million bond, which he has not yet paid to secure his release, according to WTAP. As a result, the suspect continues to be held at the Gallia County Jail in Ohio, where he was pictured wide-eyed with his hands handcuffed in front of him. Hochstetler wore a simple button-down shirt, black pants with suspenders and a straw hat that appeared to be falling apart. It remains unclear how deputies with the Meigs County Sheriff zeroed in on the 18 year old as the prime suspect in Kinsinger's death. Authorities have only said they served numerous search warrants, conducted interviews and processed evidence collected at Kinsinger's home - where she was found dead on March 13. They also said they followed up on tips and rumors, which they said helped identify Hochstetler as a person of interest. Kinsinger was found dead inside her home on March 13 Additionally, deputies noted they sent Kinsinger's body to the Montgomery County Coroner's Office for an autopsy - but the preliminary results were inconclusive. One community member, Mose Troyer, though, told WSAZ Hochstetler had been living with him for a few months - and Kinsinger lived right across the street. Troyer recounted that on March 13, people in the community noticed they hadn't seen Kinsinger all day. He then went to check on her at home that night, where Troyer said he found her dead - with a goat mysteriously inside the house. At that point, Troyer said he called 911. Looking back at the situation, Troyer said it was scary to find the body - and noted that it is disturbing to think he had been living for weeks afterwards with the main suspect. Now, he said, he just wishes he could ask Hochstetler why he did it. 'This case was such a tragedy to those who knew Rosanna. She was a beloved individual in her community,' Sheriff Fitch said in a statement. 'Detectives have worked around the clock searching for answers and were able to get those answers,' he added. 'Hopefully this investigation helps bring some closure to the victim's family and on behalf of the sheriff's office, we offer our deepest condolences.'
