UPDATE:
It has been one week since a man was found murdered in an apartment in Lancaster and police are now offering a reward to help find the killer.
That reward has been set at $1,000. Police want to know who killed Allan Hess and they need help to do it.
The body of Allan Hess was discovered a week ago around 11:00 a.m. in an apartment on the 200 block of West Walnut Street. The landlord alerted police after his tenant had not been heard from.
According to the autopsy, Hess died of sharp force trauma, meaning in other words, he was cut or stabbed to death. The 59-year-old was not the tenant of the apartment, but the tenant has been cleared in the case.
Hess had been temporarily staying there. Police say his body was found facedown in a pool of blood.
There is no word at this point on how long he had been there. Now, police would like to know where Hess was leading up to his death, how long he was dead and if anyone had spoken to him.
If you have any information on this situation, you are asked to call the Lancaster City Police Department or Lancaster Crime Stoppers.
