A Wisconsin woman suspected of shooting and wounding her daughter-in-law in February in the Saylorsburg area has committed suicide,

at Fern Ridge said today.

Carol Yeugelowitz, 65, who lived in Kenosha, failed to appear before a Monroe County grand jury Tuesday, the same day investigators filed attempted homicide charges against her in the Feb. 21 shooting of Bernadette O'Reilly, 50, at O'Reilly's home in the Saylorsburg section of Chestnuthill Township, police said.

O'Reilly's husband, Vincent Yeugelowitz Jr., told investigators in interviews March 27 and April 2 he had told his mother about the couple's deteriorating relationship, court records say.

"Vincent related that several months ago, Carol had told him that things would be better by April," police say in court records. "Vincent stated that she told him this several times."

On Feb. 21,

. Investigators filed the attempted homicide charge against Carol Yeugelowitz after learning of the marital conflict between O'Reilly and Vincent Yeugelowitz, police said.

The bullet entered the right side of O'Reilly's abdomen, exited and re-entered into her right thigh, police said after reviewing medical records from

in Fountain Hill, according to court documents. The medical staff there decided to leave the projectile in her thigh for fear its removal would cause more damage, police said.

As investigators tried Tuesday to locate Carol Yeugelowitz, they learned authorities in Kenosha were already at her house.

"They were dispatched there by Carol's other son, who lives in that area, after he found her unresponsive," Pennsylvania State Police said in a statement. "It was determined that Carol had committed suicide."

Carol Yeugelowitz had attempted suicide previously. On March 6, she was found semi-conscious in a parked car outside a Wal-Mart in Garfield, N.J., after having taken an overdose of drugs, including the narcotic oxycodone, and cutting her wrists, state police said. Police in New Jersey had to break the window of the car to get her help, according to police in Pennsylvania.

State police interviewed Carol Yeugelowitz on March 7, when she relayed she had been depressed because she feared she would never again see her grandchild, the child of O'Reilly and Vincent Yeugelowitz Jr., court records say.

Carol Yeugelowitz maintained she was not in Pennsylvania when O'Reilly was shot, though she changed her story when confronted by police with cellphone records placing her in the immediate vicinity of O'Reilly's home at the time of the shooting, court records say. She claimed to have been in Pennsylvania to surprise her son and granddaughter at the Imagination Zone in Brodheadsville, though they were not there. She then claimed to have been checking on property she owned at Holiday Pocono in Kidder Township, Pa., records say.

Police said surveillance video shows the vehicle involved in the Feb. 21 shooting was the same type and color as one rented by Carol Yeugelowitz in Wisconsin. Forensic testing also showed the presence of gunshot residue in her purse, according to court records.
