Tip Brings Arrest 2 Brothers Held In Albion Girl's Murder
Two Erie County brothers, Jerry E. Beare age 15 and Daniel Beare age 33, were jailed in Girard awaiting a preliminary hearing in the murder of 12 year old Connie Ase Carstater. The victim was found partially nude and bound in a wooded swamp south of Albion. Authorities said a tip tied the brothers to the case and they were taken to the police barracks for interrogation. Both pleaded innocent at arraignment before Justice Esther Meeder and were remanded to Erie County Jail with no bond pending the hearing. Jerry is a student at Albion Area High School. Daniel works at a local foundry. Connie’s body was recovered face down in about a foot of water, her red sweater around her neck. The case continues.
