Police: pair of 2017 murders might be connected

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne Police say a pair of murders that happened a little more than a year ago might be connected.

“Just every day, ‘Is mommy ever going to come back and see me?’ It’s just the question that you have to…that she asks,” Jeff Bartlett tells our Partners in News at ABC 21 about his children, asking about his late wife Stephania, who was found shot to death behind a home on Sherman Boulevard on January 11th, 2017.

Now, police say it appears the shooting death of Eric Hearn at the Country Hearth Inn and Suites on Goshen Rd, which happened a day earlier, might be connected because police say they have proof she was in the same hotel room where his body was found.

If you know anything about either of their deaths, call detectives at 260-427-2270.
