PAWLET, Vt. (WCAX) – Police have arrested a suspect in a triple murder in Pawlet, and he is the son of one of the victims.
Vermont State Police say Brian Crossman Jr., 23, of Granville, New York, was arrested Friday.
He faces three counts of aggravated murder in the slayings of his father, Brian Crossman Sr., 46; his stepmother, Erica Crossman, 41; and his stepbrother, Colin Taft, 13.
The three were found shot to death in their Pawlet home early Sunday morning.
