POTTER TOWNSHIP, PA – Two morons are in jail after they allegedly killed Penn State professor Ronald Bettig, 56, because they thought they’d been written into his will.Bettig was reported missing on Aug 15 after Danelle Geier and George Ishler Jr., both 39, said he and his car had not been seen in three days.
According to court documents, the pair said they believed he had gone to California. Two days later police would find that not to be true when the missing man’s body was found at the bottom of Blackhawk Quarry.
It appeared as if Bettig had died after falling 80 feet off of a cliff. However, during their investigation, police would learn Bettig had been pushed.
Turns out that Bettig had taken Geier and her child into his home because they were homeless. Geier’s sister said the two were in love and that Bettig was planning on proposing in the near future.
But police say they have texts between Geier and Ishler in which Geier says “So ready I am pissed off,” and to which she later admitted to police was in reference to killing Bettig.
Investigators say Geier and Ishlar began plotting to kill Bettig immediately after the man recently signed his new will — a will the two thought they were a part of.
They initially planned to drown him during a recent beach trip, but when that did not happen, they came up with a plan to push him off a cliff.
Geier told Ishlar tricked Bettig into coming with them to the quarry on Aug 12 so they could collect marijuana that Geier was growing by the edge of a cliff. The plan was for Bettig to fall over the edge or, if that didn’t happen (it didn’t), for Ishler to push him off.
Geier and Ishler were both arrested and are facing charges of first- and third-degree murder, aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with evidence.
