A Pennsylvania man is accused of murdering his neighbor, but the details surrounding the murder are getting viral attention. Thirty-year-old Zak Moyer allegedly wore a Ghostface mask, popularized by the movie Scream, while committing the grisly act with a chainsaw.
People writes that police discovered the body of 59-year-old Edward Whitehead Jr., in his home on Monday. The man had been violently slain with a knife and battery-powered chainsaw. It didn’t take long for authorities to figure out the identity of their suspect, even if the Pennsylvania man took bizarre steps to conceal his identity.
Police say that 30-year-old Zak Moyer was caught on surveillance footage entering and exiting the home of the slain man, but he was reportedly wearing an interesting disguise. Moyer is accused of wearing a Ghostface mask from the movie Scream, along with black clothing, to enter the home of Edward Whitehead Jr., before violently killing him.
KATV News reports that the Pennsylvania man’s sister was interviewed by police, during which time she revealed that her brother spoke of wanting to kill the man a week prior to the incident. Meanwhile, authorities are keeping tight-lipped on the possible motives behind the slaying.
