Pa. man accused of strangling 71-year-old mother

The Associated Press JONESTOWN, Pa. - A south-central Pennsylvania man is accused of strangling his 71-year-old mother with an electric cord. David Ebling was already jailed on an unrelated charge when police announced Friday that he was charged with criminal homicide and abuse of a corpse. The 45-year-old man lived with his mother, Jeanette Ebling, in Swatara Township, Lebanon County, about 75 miles west-northwest of Philadelphia. A neighbor found Jeanette Ebling strangled in her home June 12. A message seeking comment from a public defender who represented Ebling in a previous matter was not immediately returned.
