State police reopened the case and used new technology to link blood on the wife's PJs to her husband, not a goose-bite as she had claimed since 1987.
Carl Jarvis was 42 on Aug. 10, 1987, when authorities say his wife Judith Jarvis shot and killed him in their Perry County home. Photo is from a projector shown at a press conference. Blood on a pair of old pajamas helped investigators arrest an elderly woman Tuesday, 35 years after they say she shot and killed her husband in their Perry County home.
But a renewed focus from state troopers and testing with new technology linked the blood to her husband, Carl R. Jarvis, 42. Judith’s husband Carl was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head Aug. 10, 1987, in the couple’s Millerstown home, according to state police. Perry County Coroner Michael Shalonis later determined Carl Jarvis was shot in the head by a .22-caliber revolver with a two-inch trigger guard that was found at the scene. The bullet went through the back of his head and exited out the front, according to the affidavit.
