Police in the Western New York town of Webster announced the grisly find this afternoon, reports the Democrat and Chronicle, and believe it is the body of Spengler's 67-year-old sister, Cheryl Spengler, who shared the house with him and has been missing since yesterday. A medical examiner will need to make a positive identification. Police said William Spengler was "equipped to go to war," adds the AP. (More William Spengler stories.) Report an error
