Police Reveal How Man Accused of Killing Pregnant Amish Woman Allegedly Knew of the Victim

Authorities say the Pennsylvania man suspected of killing Rebekah Byler, 23, in her own home in February was well-known in the area for his allegedly “odd behavior” and suspicious activities, including a possible late-night confrontation with Byler’s husband. 

Byler, who was six-months pregnant at the time of her death, was found by her husband Andy Byler and the family’s driver Julie Warner on Feb. 26, according to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by PEOPLE. (Members of the Amish community have drivers as they don’t drive themselves).
