Community of Nazareth Reacts to Kidnapping's Deadly Outcome

Community of Nazareth Reacts to Kidnapping's Deadly Outcome - Monday, June 8, 2009 at 6:15PM EST

NAZARETH, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY- Sunday night's events began at a home in the 400-block of Union Street in Nazareth, Northampton County.
Investigators say Daniel Autenreith was scheduled to return custody of his three young kids to his estranged wife but for some reason he snapped. He was supposed to drop the children off curbside and instead he entered the residence and engaged in a conflict with his wife," says State Police Commissioner Frank Pawlowski.

Neighbors say the 31-year-old was armed with a gun, a 9mm. One neighbor who didn't want to be identified saw the suspect's estranged wife run out of her house. She came out frantic on the back deck and said he has a gun, my kids, and she was just screaming for someone to call 9-1-1," she said.

Two cops arrived within minutes but determined the suspect took off in his car with his 9-year-old son Trevor. They decided to give chase. I was just trying to keep calm for my family. I mean of course I was panicking, some guy was out here with a gun," said neighbor Tom Pensyl.

Neighbors say Autenreith's estranged wife Susan just moved into this Nazareth neighborhood in the last few months. They say the suspect still came around though. "There was always problems. A few months ago about 9:00 at night they were yelling, he wanted his kids, she said no," said neighbor Ricky Loebsack.

Police say a Protection From Abuse order, or PFA, was in place for this couple. "There was a PFA in place. On May 18th the PFA was served on the subject. He was well aware of it," said Lt. Robert Bartal.
