Joann&#8217;s car was later found next door in the parking lot of a local tavern. Although police initially focused on Andrew as a suspect, they ruled him out and suspicion turned toward his ex-girlfriend Patricia Rorrer four months later, when Joann and Alex&#8217;s bodies were discovered on a rural trail near where Patricia used to ride horses. While baby Alex&#8217;s cause of death has never been determined, Joann had been severely beaten and shot.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1609408272\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>After Patricia and Andrew broke up in 1990, she moved back to North Carolina but the two remained in touch through sporadic visits and phone calls. Shortly before Joann and Alex disappeared, Patricia called the Katrinak house. Joann answered and told Patricia to leave them alone before forcibly hanging up. Investigators theorized that this action angered Patricia into a jealous rage that ended with abduction and murder.<\/p>\n<p>Six hairs recovered from Joann&#8217;s car and two from the site where the bodies were discovered became the main evidence used against Patricia. DNA testing showed that Patricia could not be excluded as the source of the hairs and according to the prosecution that, combined with circumstantial evidence, was enough to convict her. A three-year investigation culminated in court on March 6, 1998, with Patricia being convicted on two counts of murder and two counts of kidnapping. She was sentenced to two life terms in prison without parole. Patricia has always maintained her innocence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 15, 1994, Joann Katrinak and her three-month-old son Alex disappeared without a trace from their home in Catasauqua, Pa.
