An investigation found that Kenneth Shea took an Uber from the Comfort Inn in Feasterville-Trevose at around 12:36 a.m., and was dropped off near his wife's home, on the 1000 block of Cromwell Lane in Wyndmoor, at 12:55 a.m.

Kenneth Shea pushed the air conditioning inside the home in order to break in, investigators said. He stabbed his wife multiple times, according to police.

While inside, he removed four hard drives from the home’s digital recording units, and dumped them in the bathroom sink and toilet, police said. He also dropped three cellphones in the toilet.

An Uber picked him up again at 3:37 a.m. and returned him to the hotel by 3:58 a.m.

Elizabeth Shea's body was found by police at about 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday inside the master bedroom.

Bensalem SWAT officers tracked Kenneth down to Room 314 of the Comfort Inn and took him into custody as he left the room.

He faces charges of first degree murder and related counts, and no bail is available. He was booked at Montgomery County Correctional Facility and a preliminary hearing is coming up on April 23.
