DA lays trail of evidence in trial over slain sisters
PITTSBURGH (AP) – A prosecutor laid a trail of evidence bags, crime scene photos and DNA-stained clothes across a courtroom floor to the table where a Pittsburgh man sits accused of killing his neighbors, two sisters of an Iowa state lawmaker.
Deputy Allegheny County District Attorney Bill Petulla said “All roads lead right to Allen Wade,” in his closing argument Wednesday.
The 45-year-old Pittsburgh man is accused of killing Susan Wolfe, 44, and Sarah Wolfe, 38, after they returned from work in February 2014, apparently to steal a bank card he allegedly used to withdraw $600 hours later. They were sisters of Democratic Iowa state Rep. Mary Wolfe.
The judge recessed for an hour after Petulla’s argument, then planned to instruct the jury before they deliberate.
