ATHENS, Pa. (Crime Library) — It has been nearly two months since the murder of David and Carol Keeffe, and there have been no arrests. While investigators remain tight-lipped about the status of the investigation, sources say they are nearing an arrest.
The authorities in New York recently served two search warrants related to this case. According to a source close to the investigation, those warrants were served on a motor vehicle and a house. It has also been alleged that several shotguns were among the items confiscated. Preliminary lab tests have been completed and secondary tests are currently under way.

Some late-breaking reports, which have not yet been confirmed, say police investigators have drained a pond in Waverly, NY, this past week. The obvious assumption is that they were looking for the murder weapon. What, if anything, was found is unknown and the lead investigator was unavailable for comment.
The chief suspect in this case is alleged to be someone close to the family. While the victims left behind a vast estate, it is entirely possible the person responsible for these murders might not directly benefit from the wills. According to several land deeds filed in Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut, David was involved in multiple real estate transactions with members of his family. Court records show some of these properties range in value from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Nonetheless, we cannot say for sure whether these transactions have anything to do with the murders.
