Bloomsbury woman's killer draws life sentence in Pennsylvania murder

Adam Leroy Lane, 45, drew the life term for the murder of Darlene Ewalt. He was previously sentenced for killing Monica Massaro.

The convicted killer of 38-year-old Bloomsbury resident Monica Massaro drew a life prison sentence today for the 2007 murder of a Harrisburg area woman, authorities said.

Adam Leroy Lane, 45, drew the life term for the murder of Darlene Ewalt outside her home and a consecutive 10- to 20-year term for attacking a York County woman. He pleaded guilty to both crimes.

Prosecutors say the North Carolina man randomly attacked his victims at their homes near the highways he traveled.

He walked from the Bloomsbury truck stop off Interstate 78 into Bloomsbury on July 29, 2007, and tried to enter homes at random until he found the front door unlocked at Massaro’s residence.

Authorities said he cut Massaro’s throat, watched her die and then repeatedly stabbed her body. He drew a 50-year prison sentence in that case.

He is also serving a 25-year prison sentence for attacking a 15-year-old girl in the bedroom of her family’s home in the Boston suburbs.

The attack occurred the same day authorities found Massaro's body in the bedroom of her Main Street home in Bloomsbury.
