'In the video of the individual, he has some tattoos on his hands - pay attention to that,' Ronald Zona, the Chief Detective for the Westmoreland County DA's Office said. 'Pay attention to his walk and his face.'
Jennah Seibert shared so many aspects of her life on social media. She posted silly TikTok's with her fiancé, Bryan Murray, and posted about their future wedding. She recently started a new job as the Director of Talent Acquisition for the Cuddy Group, a local employment agency. Friends say she had so much to look forward to.
All of Seibert's dreams were shattered Friday, April 11, when investigators say she was killed. Sources tell Channel 11 it appears as though she had been shot.
Jennah and her fiancé went to the Christian Center Church. The two volunteered in the cafe and for vacation bible school. The church said Jennah was murdered in her sleep after someone broke in.
It's a crime that has rattled the community.
'You wonder why,' Ellen Palmer of New Eagle said.
'People are afraid, they said they're keeping their doors locked,' Nancy Amati of Donora added.
Investigators are asking families who live in Rostraver, Donora and Monongahela to check their surveillance cameras to see if they spot the black Lexus GX550 that was stolen by the person of interest seen on security cameras, specifically from 7:30-9:30 a.m. Friday.
'She was so beautiful,' Amati said. 'I didn't know her, but you could just tell on the outside who she was.'
Seibert was also a member of the Mon Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Canonsburg Chamber of Commerce.
She had three stepchildren and treated her beloved niece like her own.

Video shows teens kick doors in Maryland for social media trend
A terrifying social media trend is sweeping through Maryland neighborhoods, one of which was captured on surveillance video. Teens run up to doors and kick them in the middle of the night, causing neighbors to stir awake. Two teens were arrested and charged in Anne Arundel County, while a Harford County neighborhood continues to see this trend, but no arrests have been made by police. Candice Knight described the loud boom she heard early Monday morning while she and her son were asleep. She ran down the stairs and tried to open her door, only to realize it was busted open by the teens. Her next-door neighbor was also hit, and the attack was caught on video. "We hear, boom, boom, boom," Knight said. "They had kicked my door in and busted my whole door frame." Out of fear, Knight hid her 12-year-old son in a closet and waited outside his door with a knife, fearing someone was trying to get inside. When the chaos was over, she found damage to her home. "It was gut-wrenching. It was whoever comes through this door, I will die to protect him," Knight said. Lisa Hazen's home was hit at the same time, and her doorbell camera caught the incident and the loud banging. "They donkey kicked my door loudly. It was shocking to say the least. I have my grandchildren with me," Hazen said. Neighbors say this is more than a silly prank or a ding-dong-ditch. "That's [ding-dong-ditch] nothing compared to what they did. And what worries me is that some mother is going to lose their child," Hazen said. Two teens are facing charges after police said they kicked in the door of a Maryland home in what could be associated with a TikTok challenge. Anne Arundel County police responded to the 7900 block of Sutherland Court for a reported burglary around 3:15 a.m. Once on the scene, a homeowner told police that her door was kicked in, and her door frame was damaged. The 14- and 15-year-old boys were found nearby, police said. Shortly after, a second homeowner in the 3500 block of Old Crown Drive reported that the two teens had attempted to kick in their door. Both teens were identified and charged, according to officers. "How do you not know that your children aren't home at 3 am you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes," Knight said. "These children are going to lose their lives over something so stupid." Kris and her husband Steve have lived in Fallston for two decades and have never seen or heard anything like the loud bangs on their door. They say it's happened nine times on three different nights. "Two o'clock in the morning, bam, bam, bam, I shoot up out of bed. It sounds like a sledgehammer," Kris said. She called the police when their front door was hit, but the kids got away with a slap on the wrist. Kris says Harford County Sheriff's deputies came to her door twice and did a sweep of the neighborhood. If they found teens, they gave them a warning, according to the family. The third time the door was hit, the family didn't even bother to call the police. "I can tell you that you feel very threatened when it happens, like someone's coming to get us. It would be very helpful if the authorities would take a little more seriously, with the kids," Kris said. Despite the Fallston family calling and working with the Harford County Sheriff's Office, the department tells WJZ no incidents have been reported to them. While the crime may seem isolated, Justin Mulcahy, a spokesperson for the Anne Arundel County Police Department, believes it could be part of a nationwide TikTok trend. "It's concerning all the way around," Mulcahy said. "We believe – based on how this was done – that this was potentially a door-kick challenge that's going on nationally." According to Mulcahy, teens across the country are participating in the challenge where they kick in the doors of homes during early morning hours. Mulcahy is urging parents to talk to their kids about the dangers of participating, saying the startling action could escalate into violence or tragedy. He emphasized that participants could face criminal charges or homeowners could take action. "What may seem like a funny prank to a child is not," Mulcahy told WJZ. "And you're infringing on someone's right by being on their property."

Inside the Tea app's toxic conversations — and how its hacking started a new war of the sexes
It's an all-out doxxing war of the sexes. First, women using a new app called The Tea to snitch on their dates' 'bad behavior' and publicly shame their exes. Then, a hacker exposed thousands of the women's driver's licenses and selfies — sent to the app to verify their identities — in an apparent attempt at revenge. The Tea App, first released in 2023, reeks of our cultural instinct to name and shame, rather than work out interpersonal issues. But the vicious hack proves dating discourse has pitted men and women against each other like never before. 11 One TikTok user found out he was on the Tea App and claimed falsehoods were being made up about him — including that he couldn't speak English. MarocTheKid/ TikTok 11 The Tea allows women to scroll through a library of male faces and tag them with gossip. .tiktok/@theteapartygirls The woman-only app is 1.7 million users strong. Snap a pic of yourself, send in your ID, and you're off to gossiping about local bachelors. It lets ladies share stories about predators and cheaters, sureThey can also conduct background checks. That's all good and nice. But the app makes clear it's for gossip in addition to safety in their own advertisements. 'Get the tea on your date,' the app store listing reads. 'Avoid dating red flag men.' Women could rate past flings with red flags or green flags. One can scroll through a library of mens' faces to see what comments other users have tagged to their profile. 11 The Tea app has amassed 1.7 million female users since launching in 2023. REUTERS 11 App store advertisements for The Tea boast the ability to 'avoid dating red flag men' and get 'anonymous advice.' apple/tea-dating-advice Some of the warnings seem legitimate. One man in Oakland, Calif., is presented with a pic and text saying he is a 'rapist and likes to drug and beat on women . . . He raped many young girls and women by drugging them. Do not take drinks off this man,' accompanied by a news report showing he, or at least someone with the same name and age, had been convicted of sexual assault. But several men claimed to have false accusations tied to them on the app, including one who called a defamation lawyer about his listing. Another alleged that a Tea user falsely accused him of asking to borrow her car to go to CVS, then taking it for three days. 'Out of all the guys in the world, they put me on The Tea app. I don't even talk to girls,' another outraged TikToker claimed. 'What they said about me was even crazier . . . like I don't know how to speak English. I'm literally speaking English right now. Basically they were just on there and bashing me for no reason.' The vast majority of men appear to have more red flags than green, and many complaints seem to revolve around ghosting. Most often no proof is offered, so anyone with a vendetta could theoretically spread terrible rumors about guys they don't like even if they were, say, just a co-worker. And since guys aren't allowed, there's only ever one side of the story — which has prompted many complaints. 11 The social media user posted a video of her confronting her boyfriend, who she alleges was cheating. theteapartygirls /Instagram 11 One woman claimed in a social media video to have found her boyfriend on The Tea. theteapartygirls /Instagram Some men have infiltrated the site. TikTokker SanchoTV posted a screenshot of himself on the app which has 21 red flags next to his name, saying it was 'Made it on the Tea App' and 'crazy,' with a video of him smiling and celebrating. Surprising enough, the app was founded by a man. According to its website, Sean Cook watched his mother get catfished and was inspired to create the platform. It exploded in popularity this summer, shooting to the No. 1 spot in the App Store. Its newfound popularity ruffled a lot of feathers, culminating in the hack of the platform. On Friday, the app confirmed 72,000 images were leaked online, including user selfies and photo IDs. 11 Another TikTok user said he was doxxed on the Tea app and lies were made up about him. @ / TikTok 11 The Tea boasts a reverse number lookup feature that can trace a man's identity. theteapartygirls /Instagram 404 media, who originally reported the breach, trace its origins back to 4Chan, a far-right, male dominated message board site. 4Chan users absolutely tore apart the user-uploaded selfies with incredibly cruel comments. Some combed through the leaked photos to craft compilations of particularly unflattering photos women took from the comfort of their home, never expecting they'd go anywhere but a database somewhere in the cloud. One person — apparently with a lot of time on their hands — even created a website where visitors could vote on which of two selfies was more attractive. The result: a very brutal leaderboard. 11 The Tea was founded by Sean Cook, who was inspired by his mother's experience with catfishing. 11 Some X users celebrated the hack as karma delivered to users of The Tea. @woke8yearold/ X 11 A cruel selfie ranking website created a leaderboard from leaked photos sent to The Tea. @ryanasanchez /X The doxxers of The Tea were getting doxxed themselves. But both sides of the whole debacle are wrong. Women can save their snide comments about dates for drinks with their friends, instead of public shaming forums. And men putting selfies of women — private citizens — on blast online are downright cruel. We're losing the plot. Since when did dating become an all-out gender war? Instead of loving each other, we're dunking on one another.

Pro-life Texas pol accused of affair with stripper and paying for abortions — as she shares torrid Chuck E. Cheese claim
A pro-life Texas state lawmaker accused of having a years-long affair with a former stripper — and paying for multiple abortions. The woman, Alex Grace, who came forward in a video posted on the Current Revolt Substack. She alleged that Republican state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione paid for 'meetups' with her along with 'several abortions for his own personal gain' starting when she was just 18. 'I know that Giovannie Capriglione has been having affairs since 2005 because it's me. I'm her. I'm not proud of it, in fact I'm ashamed of it. Hopefully, you can keep in mind that we all have a past and I wish I could say for him that that was the worst of it, but it's not,' Grace alleged in a TikTok. Advertisement She alleged that the relationship turned sour after he began playing out his 'foul' fantasies — while he worked to 'erode away at women's rights.' In one instance, he made her pick up cash near a dumpster behind a Chuck-E-Cheese, she says. 3 Texas Rep. Giovanni Capriglione has touted himself as a pro-lifer. Aaron E. Martinez/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Advertisement Capriglione, 52, dropped his reelection bid for his seat in the suburbs north of Fort Wort just three days before Grace's video surfaced — then came clean about the affair. However, the pol — who hails from tony Southlake — denied paying for any abortions and vowed to pursue 'legal remedies' over her claims. 'Years ago, I selfishly had an affair. I'm not proud of this. Thank God my wife and family forgave me, and we moved past it and have the strong marriage we do today,' he said in a statement. 3 Alex Grace made the serious accusations in a video published just three days after he dropped his reelection bid. TikTok / @alaskaunicornco Advertisement 'I have never, nor would I ever, pay for an abortion,' he added. On his campaign website, Giovanni touts himself as 'a pro-life leader with a 100% pro-life voting record,' who 'voted to defund Planned Parenthood and authored and passed numerous pro-life bills, including the Pro-Life Abortion Trigger Ban bill.' The 'trigger ban' made performing abortions punishable by up to life in prison. Advertisement 3 Capriglione poses with his wife in a candy store. Facebook / Giovanni Capriglione Grace said she was working as an 18-year-old exotic dancer when she first met Capriglione, who came into her club in 2004 and appeared to be 'a very straight-laced businessman,' according to the Texas Tribune. Their relationship blossomed as Capriglione returned every few weeks, she said. 'We became close friends,' she said. 'He was magnetizing. He was outwardly genuine and kind. … He was the one who reminded me to keep my head up. He was the one that encouraged me. He pushed me to succeed more in life.' They would first meet up at his office, before moving to hotels and later his home while his family was away, Grace alleged. She claimed that Capriglione's wife even 'encouraged' the tryst. 'Stop feeling bad for his wife, she encouraged it. Quit assuming that every pregnancy that was terminated were mine, quit assuming I was the only one,' she said. She said that she eventually had to break off their relationship, claiming, 'It was when his fantasies were so foul and seeing the political moves that he was making were continuing to erode away at women's rights… that was the catalyst for me taking the step back.' Advertisement Capriglione gave Grace 'gifts' and cash over the course of their relationship, she said. Grace described one instance when Capriglione allegedly arranged to meet up at an address that turned out to be a Chuck E. Cheese, according to the Texas Tribune. 'He told me to go to the back of the building and next to the dumpster there would be a rubber mat. Look under it,' she recalls him telling her. 'And under this rubber mat was an envelope with money.' Grace said the relationship started to fizzle out in 2012, when he was elected to the state legislature, according to the Texas news outlet. Advertisement Sometime between 2019 and 2020 the two had a phone call, where Grace shared her outrage with the lawmaker's views, she said. She claimed that Capriglione hung up and the two never spoke again.
