Teen, mother charged in Pennsylvania soccer player’s killing; teen blamed ‘demon’

A Pennsylvania teen, Royce Moser, 18, and his mother, Rachel Moser, 56, have been charged with the murder of a college soccer player, Karoline Heintz, 18.

Coaches and teammates of Heintz have paid tribute to her, describing her as a bright and kind young woman.
