Police searched Monday for an 18-year-old man and his
girlfriend, whose parents were found shot to death in their home. The
girlfriend's sister told authorities she saw the young man kill her father.

Nov. 13, 2005. Borden, 14, was missing after her parents were shot to
death in their home Sunday morning in Litita, Pa., and authorities issued
an arrest warrant for 18-year-old David G. Ludwig, believed to be her
boyfriend who reportedly abducted her at gunpoint.

Police said David G. Ludwig killed 14-year-old Kara Beth Borden's parents,
Michael F. and Cathryn Lee Borden, after they and their daughter argued about
her curfew. The girl was last seen after the shootings Sunday morning at the
family's home in Warwick Township, about 60 miles west of Philadelphia.
"We don't know whether she has been abducted or is willingly a part of this,"
said Police Chief William Seace. Until they can determine otherwise, police are
operating on the assumption that she has been kidnapped.
An Amber Alert for the two of them has been expanded to the entire eastern
United States, Seace said Monday.
Kara Beth's 13-year-old sister, Katelyn, told investigators her father and
mother were shot after they argued with Ludwig for about an hour, according to a
police affidavit filed in court.
"As they got near the front door, Katelyn Borden saw David Ludwig with a
handgun pointed toward her father and Katelyn saw David Ludwig pull the trigger,
heard a gunshot, and then she ran into the bathroom," the affidavit said.
She heard a second shot — presumably the one that killed her mother — while
hiding in the bathroom, it said. Ludwig then ran through the house calling for
Kara, she told investigators.
The couple's 9-year-old son ran to the home of neighbors,
who called 911, police said earlier.
