Overview
- The suspect’s call to his parents early Tuesday led officers to the couple’s Seven Fields home, where 25-year-old Madeline Spatafore was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
- Police later found 26-year-old Ryan Hosso dead from a single gunshot in woods across the municipal line in Cranberry Township after a thermal drone search.
- Pennsylvania State Police assumed the case because the house and the wooded site fall under different local departments, which makes it a multi-jurisdiction investigation.
- Investigators say Hosso told his parents he had killed his wife and said he intended to take his own life, and the parents then alerted police around 1:15 a.m.
- Spatafore worked as a neurocritical care physician assistant at UPMC Presbyterian and graduated summa cum laude from Duquesne University in 2023, and the couple married in September 2024 after dating in high school.
