SUMMITVILLE - State police have confirmed that the Sullivan County woman killed in last week's murder-suicide was pregnant.

Ashley Greene, 33, was in her second trimester when she was fatally shot on Aug. 19 at her home on Mount Vernon Road in Summitville by 70-year-old Richard S. Boniface of Bloomingburg, Troop F spokesman Trooper Steven Nevel said on Monday.

Boniface fled the scene in his pickup truck and later killed himself in a wooded area a few miles away.

Greene's obituary in the Times Herald-Record listed her unborn son's name as Abraham Greene.

Nevel said Monday there wasn't additional information he could release about the investigation.

“They’re still investigating different angles, so I'm not sure yet what his (Boniface's) motive may have been,” Nevel said.

Police said last week that Greene worked odd jobs for Boniface in landscaping and cleaning, and that he had loaned her money.

Greene's mother was in the Mount Vernon Road home when Boniface came looking for Greene, but she was not injured in the shooting.

Police later found Boniface dead against a tree from a self-inflicted gunshot wound off Roosa Gap Road in the Town of Mamakating. They recovered a 9mm handgun, but they would not comment on whether it was the same weapon used to kill Greene.
