Reading, Pennsylvania — Pennsylvania State Police are offering a $5,000 reward for information that helps solve the 2001 homicide of Lisa Carabello in Berks County.
According to Pennsylvania State Police Troop L in Reading, Carabello, 40, was found fatally wounded inside her Mohnton Borough home on Feb. 8, 2001. Investigators said she was attacked from behind at the top of a stairway, suffering multiple stab wounds. She fell down the stairs and died from a wound to her neck.
State police said there were no signs of forced entry at the residence, a detail that has remained central to the long-running investigation. No arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved more than two decades later.
Authorities are urging anyone with information — even details that may have seemed insignificant at the time — to come forward. Tips may be submitted directly to Pennsylvania State Police at the Reading Station by calling 610-378-4011. Anonymous tips can also be provided through PSP Tips at 1-800-472-8477 or online at www.pstips.com.
Investigators said callers who provide information leading to an arrest, the resolution of the case, or the location of a wanted person may be eligible for a cash reward. The reward is not funded by taxpayers.
The case continues to draw attention as state police review past evidence and seek new leads from the public. Officials emphasized that information shared confidentially could be critical in bringing long-awaited answers to Carabello’s family.
The renewed appeal may be especially relevant to residents who lived in or near Mohnton Borough in the early 2000s, including former students or young workers who may recall unusual activity from that period.
