GREAT BEND TWP., PA — On September 5, Pennsylvania State Police apprehended a suspect in connection with a homicide. According to court documents, the man is Quentin Millard, who was wanted in connection with the death of John Amrein.

Police say they were called to the home of Rachel Ayers, 38, for a missing persons report. Ayers told police that her boyfriend, Amrein, had left to go to a market the previous day and had never returned, and also did not show up to work the next day.

The investigation revealed that Amrein had gone to the home of another woman, Andrea Martel, and that Martel informed Amrein that she was pregnant, and “he was possibly the father.”

Then, according to police documents, “Amrein became irate and physically pushed Martel onto the bed. Amrein then said ‘I’ve had enough and I’m leaving.’ He then walked out of the back of the trailer and left on foot.”

Martel was later re-interviewed two times and twice revised her story. The conflicting details of the versions leave the exact sequence of events unclear, but the final two versions both say that when Amrein went to her residence in Great Bend Twp., Susquehanna County, on September 3, Quentin Millard was also there.

She argued with Amrein, and both she and Millard at different times grabbed an object and struck Amrein in the back of his head. There also was at one point a scuffle in which Amrein pulled out a handgun, and in the ensuing fight Millard was shot in the arm and Amrein was shot in the leg.

The exact sequence in which Amrein actually died and Martel discovered his body differ somewhat in her various interviews, but the affadavit of probable cause says that, following Amrein’s death, Martel and Millard moved the body to a shallow grave in a wooded spot.

On the evening of September 5, police located Millard in New Milford Township where he was taken into custody without incident and was charged with criminal homicide for Amrein’s death. Martel has also been charged.

On September 6, Amrien's body was found by state troopers near a gas well pad.
