The Amish community in Spartansburg, Pennsylvania, is reeling after the shocking death of a 23-year-old pregnant woman. Rebekah Byler was found dead in the living room of her home by a relative and family friend on Monday (February 26).
It is the first time an Amish person has been murdered in Pennsylvania since 1993, according to the Erie Times-News.
Her two children were found at the home and were unharmed.
