An Amish man in Ohio has been arrested for allegedly killing his neighbor, a 28-year-old woman who was a member of the same Amish community, nearly a month after authorities said she was found dead inside of her home with her goat.

Samuel Hochstetler was taken into custody on Monday and charged with one count of murder in the March slaying of Rosanna Kinsinger, authorities announced. According to a news release from the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, deputies on Thursday, March 13, 2025, responded to a call regarding a “suspicious death” at a residence on Dye Road in Rutland, Ohio. Rutland is just under 200 miles south of Cleveland.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they located the body of an adult female — later identified as Kinsinger — and conducted an initial review of the home before contacting the Meigs County Coroner’s Office. The coroner determined that Kinsinger’s death was “suspicious” before sending her remains to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office for an autopsy. Authorities said that the results of the autopsy were inconclusive.

Authorities detained Hochstetler on Monday and transported him to the sheriff’s office, where he was interviewed by detectives. Though authorities did not provide details, immediately following the interview, Hochstetler was arrested and charged with Kinsinger’s murder.

“This case was such a tragedy to those who knew Rosanna. She was a beloved individual in her community,” Sheriff Scott Fitch said in a statement following the arrest. “Detectives have worked around the clock searching for answers and were able to get those answers. Hopefully this investigation helps bring some closure to the victim’s family and on behalf of the Sheriff’s Office we offer our deepest condolences.”

According to a report from Huntington, West Virginia, NBC affiliate WSAZ, Hochstetler had moved to the community from Kentucky and had been staying with a man named Mose Troyer in the months before Kinsinger’s death, as well as the weeks leading up to his arrest.

Troyer reportedly told the station that on March 13, he and several others in the community realized they had not seen Kinsinger at all that day. That evening, Troyer said he went to check on her at her home, which is where he discovered her dead inside the home and called 911. Her goat was also inside of the home, the report says.

Troyer said that in addition to the fear sparked by the alleged murder, he was also disturbed by the idea that the man allegedly responsible for killing Kinsinger had living in his home after the crime.

The sheriff’s office said the work of numerous investigators and members of the community led them to identify Hochstetler as a possible suspect.

“Since the time of death, Meigs County Sheriff’s Office Detectives have worked tirelessly executing search warrants, conducting interviews and processing evidence collected from the scene,” the office said in the release. “Detectives followed up on numerous tips, leads, and rumors and through investigative efforts, Detectives were able to identify Samuel Hochstetler as a person of interest in the case.”
