• Harrisburg teen who killed dad arrested after fleeing work release: DA (pennlive.com) — Dauphin County officials say a 19-year-old Harrisburg man who previously pleaded guilty in his father’s 2024 death is back in custody after allegedly cutting off his GPS monitor and leaving a county work-release center. He’s now held at Dauphin County Prison on $5,000 bail for an escape charge, which could affect his upcoming parole review and release timeline.
