A woman whose body was found on Saturday morning in the Schuylkill River in East Falls allegedly killed her husband and threatened her adult son in Montgomery County earlier a day.

The district prosecutor of Montgomery County, Kevin R. Steele, treats the case as a “murder self-murder, tried murder examination,” said his office in a joint explanation on Sunday together with the police authorities Upper Merion Township and Upper Dublin.

The saga started around 9:30 a.m. when the police were called to a Fedex warehouse in Upper Dublin. An employee told the officials that his mother-the 57-year-old Tonya Dupree, asked him to get him out of his job, and, according to the statement, showed a weapon in her car in her car.

He was able to grab the gun from Dupree's hand and she fled out of the area, the authorities said. The investigators recovered the weapon.

About 45 minutes later, the police held a welfare check in the Duprees King of Prussia house where they found Robert Dupree Sr. (62), said the law enforcement authorities in his bed.

A short time later, around 10.40 a.m. on Saturday, the Philadelphia police reacted to the 4500 block of the Kelly Drive for a body that hovered in the river. Montgomery County officers said that the deceased had been identified as Tonya Dupree.

In this case, prosecutors have not commented on a potential motif.
