Cold Case Solved After Decade | Harrisburg News
Description
After a decade-long cold case, Shawn Jones, 55, finally pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the 2013 stabbing death of Allan Hess during a robbery. Found guilty and sentenced to 25 years to life — effectively life — Jones admitted he stabbed Hess after being confronted while stealing a TV. The breakthrough came from a single cigarette butt in an ashtray, whose DNA matched Jones. Investigators, led by a new detective who took over after the original retired, painstakingly re-examined old evidence. Jones, already incarcerated for unrelated crimes, confessed during interviews. The victim’s family now finds closure after years of unanswered questions.
