GETTYSBURG, Pa. - A Gettysburg College senior was charged with criminal homicide after his former girlfriend, a freshman at the school, was stabbed and strangled to death early yesterday.
Police charged Kevin Robert Schaeffer, 21, of Oley, Berks County, with killing Emily Rachel Silverstein, 19, of Roosevelt, N.J., in his apartment on the outskirts of town. Adams County District Attorney Shawn Wagner declined to comment about a possible motive.
Silverstein was stabbed several times in the neck and upper torso, Wagner said, and authorities said they believed Schaeffer had choked her with his hands.
