Men who kill their wives often seem to opt for one of two stories: either the woman disappeared while out for a walk or a jog; or some mysterious intruder with mysteriously strong motivation came in and killed the woman while the guy was asleep or away.
If 41-year-old Michael Roseboro killed his wife Jan as alleged, then he fell into the second group.
Police were called to the Roseboro residence in Reinholds, PA on the night of July 22. There they found a scratched Michael attempting to revive a brutally beaten and possibly-drowned Jan. An autopsy on Jan's body later revealed that she'd been strangled, bludgeoned, kicked and punched, then thrown into the pool in the Roseboro's back yard.
Jan's death may have been the first homicide in Reinholds history.
Court documents later revealed that Michael Roseboro, a funeral home director in Denver, PA, was having an affair. In fact, he may have been with his mistress hours before his wife's death.
Police won't say what they believe motivated Roseboro to kill his wife.
Michael Roseboro is being held without bail in the Lancaster County prison.
