Altoona Mirror - Making It Happen For You: "Carlos Antonio Ortiz, who shot and killed the mother of two of his three children Friday, was obsessed with the outcome of court cases surrounding the custody of his kids, his attorney said.
Ortiz, 37, of 850 22nd St. and Beth S. Sprankle, 24, of Duncansville met over the Internet about four years ago, Logan Township Police Chief Ron Heller said. They had lived in Allentown but moved to Altoona about a year ago.
The custody battles may have been the cause for Ortiz shooting Sprankle to death Friday in a child care center parking lot, but authorities will never know for certain, Heller said.
Ortiz fought Blair County Children and Youth Services, who removed an older daughter from his custody and sent her to live with a relative in Allentown, said Altoona attorney Mark Zearfaus, who represented Ortiz in the proceeding."
