TEXAS TWP.- State police seized more than 100 guns at a White Mills Road residence where an elderly woman was murdered Sunday, according to an inventory of seized property.

June Jufer, 68, died from a single gunshot to the head, state police said. Her body was discovered in a bedroom at 238 White Mills Road after her husband, Robert Jufer, called from a neighbor's house to report that he was attacked from behind and knocked unconscious upon entering the home after a trip to the store.

The list of weapons included at least six shotguns, one semi-automatic rifle, 46 rifles and 16 handguns, in addition to other firearms.

State police also seized two silencers from the property, a box of latex gloves, two latex gloves and a wooden dowel from the kitchen with blood on it.

Mr. Jufer's account of Sunday morning during an interview with state police later that day revealed several inconsistencies, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

Mr. Jufer could not explain a 45-minute period between 8:29 a.m., when surveillance video shows him leaving the Wal-Mart just five miles from his home, and 9:15 a.m, when a neighbor witnessed him return to his house, police said. Also, after claiming to have been knocked unconscious by an assailant, Mr. Jufer was able to recover, attempt to call police with his phone, find it inoperable and travel 100 yards to his neighbor's home where he called police at 9:30 a.m., 15 minutes later.

No arrests have been made, according to state police.

CHERRY RIDGE TWP. - State police seized more than 100 guns at a White Mills Road residence where an elderly woman was killed Sunday and an interview with the woman's husband raised concerns about his whereabouts that morning, according to a search warrant.

June Jufer, 68, died from a single gunshot to the head, state police said. Her body was discovered in a bedroom at 238 White Mills Road after her husband, Robert Jufer, called from a neighbor's house to report that he was attacked from behind and rendered unconscious upon entering the home after a trip to Walmart.

When a state police trooper arrived at the home Sunday morning, he found Mrs. Jufer "clearly deceased" in her bed with the covers pulled almost over her head and a large pool of blood, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

A shotgun, which contained a discharged 12-gauge buckshot cartridge, was on the floor pointed in the direction of the bed. A state police search of the home recovered four boxes of Remington 12-gauge 00 buck, according to an inventory of items seized.

Troopers observed the gun had a pattern on it near the barrel which they distinguished as possible partial finger shapes, which could have been left by gloved hands, according to the affidavit.

The list of weapons included at least six shotguns, one semi-automatic rifle, 46 rifles and 11 handguns, in addition to other firearms. State police also recovered two silencers in the basement and a large flak vest in the attic.

An extensive inventory of ammunition was also recovered - including seven shotgun shells in a Mossberg 500A 12-gauge pump-action shotgun - as well as several stripper clips and assorted gun parts.

The home's kitchen yielded several items during the search, including a wooden dowel with blood on it, a box of blue latex gloves, three blue latex gloves from the counter top, two green, flat ropes in a box and four blood swabs. The inventory also listed an empty Friskies cat food can "with blood on bottom," though it did not specify its location in the house.

A wooden curtain rod from the television room, a piece of a wooden curtain rod from beneath the home's basement steps and two receipts from Walmart, one from Sunday morning and another from Saturday, also were seized.

In a bottom shelf in the home's living room, police discovered two books, listed as "The Crime Busters Book" and "The World's Greatest Crimes Book."

Found in the basement were 26 suspected homemade improvised pyrotechnics, two suspected pyrotechnic filler powders, a bag of hobby fuse and a spool of green, flat rope.

Mr. Jufer's account of Sunday morning during an interview with state police later that day revealed several inconsistencies, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

Mr. Jufer could not explain a 45-minute period between 8:29 a.m., when surveillance video shows him leaving the Walmart just 5 miles from his home, and about 9:15, when a neighbor witnessed him return to his house, according to state police.

Mr. Jufer had told police that he went directly home from Walmart and that the neighbor "must be wrong," according to the affidavit.

The affidavit called the timing of events into question again with reference to Mr. Jufer's reported attack and subsequent trek to his neighbor's home.

After claiming to have been knocked unconscious by an assailant, Mr. Jufer was able to recover, attempt to call police with his phone, find it inoperable and travel 100 yards to his neighbor's home where he arrived at 9:30, 15 minutes later, according to the affidavit.

Police also noted in the affidavit that Mr. Jufer told different tales of the supposed assault. Mr. Jufer initially told the responding trooper at the scene Sunday morning that he was jumped entering the home and that an assailant put a plastic bag over his head, which rendered him unconscious.

But later, Mr. Jufer told troopers the assailant wrapped either a cord or rope around his neck and applied pressure until he lost consciousness. No bruising, ligature, scratches or hemorrhage markings could be found on Mr. Jufer's neck or face, according to the affidavit.

Also, the area in which Mr. Jufer claimed the assault took place showed no signs of a struggle, according to the affidavit.

After dialing 911 and handing his phone to Mr. Jufer, the neighbor, Richard Meszler, went to the Jufer home out of concern for Mrs. Jufer, according to the affidavit. Mr. Meszler told police that he did not see anyone or any vehicles in the immediate area of the Jufer residence or fleeing from it at that time. Mr. Meszler also told police that, other than Mr. Jufer, he saw no one enter or exit the home between 9:15 and 9:30.

Mr. Jufer's memory faltered again during his interview with state police when they asked him when he last fired a weapon. First, Mr. Jufer told them he had fired a 12-gauge shotgun at a muskrat near his pond Saturday morning.

However, when troopers brought up the possibility of a gunshot residue test, Mr. Jufer remembered that he had in fact fired a .45LC/.410 Derringer on Saturday evening. He first told troopers he fired the Derringer into the pond then again changed his story, telling them he actually shot an acorn squash to "see what kind of damage it would do," according to the affidavit.

No arrests had been made as of late Tuesday, according to state police. Wayne County District Attorney Michael Lehutsky declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
