A two-year-old murder case is closer to being solved, but is not closed yet.
A man has been arrested for the 2010 murder of Monica Schmeyer.
Police paperwork tells us it was 39-year-old Timothy Jacoby who shot Schmeyer in her Manheim Township home.
What is not known yet is the motive, but the paperwork does establish a relationship between Jacoby and Schmeyer’s ex husband.
At 252 on the afternoon of March 31, 2010, a 911 hang up call led police to the Manheim Township home of Monica Schmeyer.
There, they found her body and a spent shell casing. Just an hour and a half before, Schmeyer’s caller ID showed a call from her ex-husband, Jon.
Jon told police he was having lunch at Hooters when the murder happened, and he was eating with a woman named Sara Powell.
Powell, it turns out is the fiancé of the man police now charge with killing Schmeyer. Witnesses placed a man who looked like Timothy Jacoby at the scene and also his car.
Hooters employees confirmed for police that Jacoby and Schmeyer belonged to a social group that frequently met at the restaurant.
Police will only say their investigation is still ongoing.
Calls to Jon Schmeyer were unanswered.
Jacoby was already in prison when he was charged, serving time for another crime involving theft and illegal firearms.
